I think going for low nutrient levels might not help with a pest coral. My phosphates are at theoretical zero (rowaphos), and nitrates are either unreadable or below 0.2ppm (salifert kit), and my xenia still grow like weeds. I only have 3 small fish in the 120g setup so far, and I feed them like soviet farmers
 .Maybe you'll have resort to aiptasia-like treatments? If you're considering a phosphate media, advancedaquarist.com has a VERY detailed analysis of rowaphos and phosban, both ferrous oxide phosphate media (versus the aluminum oxide ones which are harmful to inverts. phosguard's an aluminum oxide product). There are pros and cons and that article lists and explains some of them. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu...004/review.htm

What about selling off the live rock with the Anthelia or trading it for other corals? If it's on the glass a razor blade scraper can remove it. I had a nice Anthelia in my 90 and I thought it was beautiful to watch but I wouldn't have liked it nearly as much had it taken over.

The problem with the anthelia is it is invasive everywhere. It is on my big pieces of rock with large encrusted corals that have been growing for years.
The anthelia has completely wiped out my nice collection of zoanthids. This is what ****ed me off the most. The anthelia would grow in between the zoanthids so you couldn't remove it without destroying the zoanthids.
