Need your help in eradicating Anthelia / Xenia
Its been a while since I have been on here. So hello again.
I am needing help on eradicating Zenia. I have a 125g tank that is full...... I do not want to tear it down and replace all the live rock. Any ideas on Fish or inverts that might eat the stuff. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...Picture109.jpg Thanks Rob |
1. Limit nutrients
2. Get a sonic scrubber - there was a thread about the Sonic Scrubber on this forum earlier this year. |
I've been able to keep Xenia in check by manually removing. Found if use a dental pick to gentle pry off the rocks (and not leave behind) it doesn't come back.
It will bud off what remains, but again easy to control with a few minutes a month. |
xenia infestation
been trying to use xenia as a mean of nutrient exportation. i will be very happy to take a few xenia-covered rock off your hand and pay you something for them
|
my emporer angel eats it up :)
|
FYI, what you have is not Cesptiularia, if it was, you'd have a GOLDMINE in frags ;)

rabbitfish will most likely eat it. If they don't they'll at least eat your algae.
|
I keep mine under controll with a good pair of tweezer's, available at a medical supply store. I also do like the idea of a dental pick. I have found that if you miss a little piece it will still greatly stunt it and slowly come back. at this time you can just get it again.

unfortunatly I would be tweezing for months. IF any one want any, let me know via PM and you can take as much as you can. All I ask in return is some clean live rock free of the stuff. It is literally choking the life out of my tank
Thanks Rob |
