Moving a xenia, before it becomes an A - - - -..

When I first got this guy, he disappeared for two days. I came back one morning and the Xenia was on the underside of this frag. I didn't have a problem until today!

I just went from a standard 10g to a beautiful nanocube, and the Xenia is creeping up to the Zoa. :headwally:

I still want to keep it, but how do I remove it without killing it?

If you have a scalpel or a brand new razor blade you can just cut it off the plug as close as you can. You won't kill it. Or just use a bone cutter or something like that and snip off that side of the plug with the xenia on it. Can't tell how much room you have between the zoa and the xenia. But if it's too close cutting will work. Try and just make on clean cut straight through. Try and not saw at it, much more stressful for it.

Thanks. I was reading stuff about doing it that way. Xenia is a beast, i am more worried about stressing the ZOA more.
