Hi people, got time? Need yr advice on two things: a colony of xenia is growing wild. Tried using knife to remove as much as possible but it grows back in no time. Does anyone know a more efficient method? It grows on rock with a v nice mushroom, otherwise I would have simply thrown it away. Second problem: some of my zoas are losing colour (mainly green, purple and luminous hues). Other corals doing fine. Any clue? Appreciate yr time!

can try apitasia remover or hydrogen peroxide and inject into them to kill them.

First of all, nothing wrong with newbies giving advice - as long as it is not incorrect or bad advice.

Secondly look at how the question was asked. The thread title is misleading. How to expect people to reply?

I believe a good response comes from how clear and specific the question was asked.

To answer the question, remove as much xenia as you can and cover the remaining base with epoxy or super glue gel. For epoxy, be warned that it is toxic if used in large amounts, especially if your tank is small.
