Default peel

peel them off your rocks with your finger nails before you clip your nails. Or use a hard spatula. they peel off from the base rather easily and its like peeling a sticker off a piece of glass - sometimes it all comes off, and sometimes a piece gets left behind.

I was trying to get rid of some aptasia. I found joes juice works good on the aptasia but also will take out xenias too.

If the xenia is just one one or two rocks and you have no other attached corals, I'd suggest pulling them out and pressure washing it and then cook the rock. They will regain their live rock status in a short time back in the tank.

Don't want to kill them, just thin them out so I'll try the peel or cut thing.

And yes you did try to worn me but come on, they looked so calm and behaved sitting on those little plugs in your tank, never figured for mutants.

Bill's aren't much more behaved either, I think yours and his have formed a pact for global domination
