Free Pulsating Xenia

[tmulrney]

How the !@&$! Do I get this stuff off my rocks? Removing them is out of the question. I would have to redo all the rock work in my tank.
Can someone invent Xenia-x or something like it?
Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? If anyone wants some, I have plenty.
I'm located in Palmetto Bay.

could you put a euphyllia next to it so It gets stung and dies?

I will certainly try that

Roger posted this in another thread. Maybe he can expand on it.

"I don't think that you are going to find a study on how a Human drug produced to kill Malaria is also effective on a wide range of deceases for fish, or how did fluke tabs can eradicate Xenia from a tank, or how does interceptor is capable of killing red bugs from a tank leaving other inverts alive.

This are just a few examples of things that just don't have enough weight to get funded for studies but that have enough reason for aquarist to follow and test.

There are more of these examples and there will be more to come, if you get stuck waiting for a supreme literature to give you an ok to experiment you are going to miss the bus."

Thank you stylo. ROGGER!! You out there?? Fluke tabs?

I just did a search and came up with a few ideas that will save the Xenia and also remove it from my tank. I will try these first over the weekend. It I am successful I will have Xenia to give. If anyone wants some send me a PM.
If I'm not successful I will be looking in to finding fluke tabs. I hear they are hard to come by.

[Bellaru]

I'll take some if you can ship it.

 

[tmulrney]

Thanks for all the offers. I'm removing it tomorrow and will let you know

 

[squishifishi]

it's easy to remove and frag up...it's getting rid of the fleshy stubble leftover that's the hard part...

 

[loqix]

yea just take a new blade and cut @ the base, or if you can break some rock also. lol

 

[loqix]

Anything on the Xenias? Just curious

 

[tmulrney]

Nope. I can't reach them. My tank is 28" deep and the tweezers I planned to use don't reach. I also brought home a hemostat but that didn't reach either. So, I need to get a jumbo sized tweezers, just haven't done so yet. Errrrr

 

[Hyperion1337]

Give me a heads up if you are able to frag it. I live close to you.

 

[tmulrney]

Ok. I managed to get the Xenia put of my tank. I used tweezers and they worked pretty well. There's probably more but for now I got out all I can see. I placed each piece between two pieces of rubble rock and wrapped the rocks with a rubber band.
I have about 15 pieces. I PMd a couple of the people who PMd me. If I didn't get back to you shoot me another.
