Default LF Xenia eating Nudibranch (Or what have you)

Hi all, looking for anything that attacks and kills Xenia. I have heard that SOME Nudibranch will eat Xenia like a lawn mower... so if you have one that loves the stuff I sure would likme to get my hands on it. Either that or I will have to take apart my entire tank and start over... thanks in advance!

tear it off the rocks and kalk paste the remaining flesh. make sure your skimmer set on high and do a water change after just incase the zenia release anything.
its what i've been doing. so far so good except where i cant get my fingers in to tear it.

guess i should add only for small amounts of xenia... i have a large tank so it can handle the ph swing from some kalk paste use against aptasia and such.

Tear, scrape or razor blade off as much as you can. Then use epoxy to smother what flesh remains on the rocks. Leave epoxy for a couple of weeks then peel epoxy off. Nice clean live rock :-). I've done this to control Xenia, GSP, aiptasia, etc.
