How to maintain xenia

[Owenlimkopi]

Heey peepsssss i have some enquires regarding keeping pulsing xenia. So basically i have a huge colony beside some cloves and zoas. But the xenias seem to be spreading all over the other rock which contains some of my zoas . Any way i can still keep that colony and prevent it from spreading onto my zoa rock? Likee should i swap the zoas out for something else that would retain it. Thankssnin advance!

I guess you'll need to keep trimming it back or isolate it on it's own island. I just got a frag of Xenia last week and it has grown noticeably bigger in size already only within one week. This coral is so crazy.

only way is to cut it off from the base.. xenia growth can be very invasive

Xenias can easily be dettached from the base. But do expect them to grow back. It will take certain housekeeping in order to keep them neatly but they bring lots of movements which is awesome especially the pulsing ones.
