Or ask at your LFS to see if they ever get these guys in as hitchhikers and to look out for them for you.

Chin,
done that before but it's not so easy when it's attached to rock at the bottom of your tank .

And what's worse, is the putrid smell they give off. After several hand washes the smell was still there.
Ugh, I don't want to be peeling Xenia off anything any time soon.

How about putting some other stinging corals beside the Xenia to sting the life out of them.
Believe it or not, but my zoas+GSP did that to a stalk of Xenia.

I found that an unnoticed cracked heater in the water mixing bucket will wipe out the xenia population in only a few hours after the water change. Can't say I'd try it deliberately though.

I had a rock that I took out of the tank, peeled off the xenia, then cooked the area with a bic lighter, and put the rock back in the tank. Two weeks later, more xenia. Good luck....

Green Star Polyps kill it...but GSP's are just as bad for taking over a tank. If you want some GSP's give me a shout...or I think Tom R is a little closer to you and he generally has plenty.
