Please log in for more thread options At least the world they live in. I put in one tiny
pulsating xenia 10 months ago and now they're all over the
place, even growing on the glass. When I try to pull them
out, they turn into a sci-fi substance you'd expect to see
inside a monster parading as a human. A bit far fetched,
but they are seriously slimy and probably releasing more
potential xenia when I pull. Is there any solution or is it
best to pull out the rocks and scrub them off. That's quite
a few rocks by now.

Where are you located ? I would gladly take some of this coral from you.
Other choices would be eBay.com - but with local pickup only, they do not ship
well.

I'm in central Pa. I'd like to trade it for less aggressive
coral. I could ask the local shop, I suppose.

I would not say Xenia is aggressive coral...
It is fast growing, but it is manageable.
Just position Xenia on top of the rockwork.
They have tendency to grow up, not down.
So if you position them on the top of the
"mountain" they should not spread as much.
Then, from time to time you could cut the
biggest branch, put in the bowl of water
with small pebble for a couple of days and it
will attach forming a nice selling/trade piece.

I'm in Lancaster County, PA, and I'd be interested in your xenia.
Having said that, I'd need to do some research first. Since I'm
typing, I'll look here first. Is this an acceptable "first coral"?
What are the lighting/feeding/flow requirements? I've been FO for ten
years and am converting to a reef setup currently. OK, I'm off to
read about xenia....Thanks.
