Containing Pulsing Xenias

[khriistian]

Hello everyone!!! before I ask my question I know they are considered a "plague" by most reefers and they should be remove etc etc. But I have a rock my tank that has a colony of them and I like how they look xD.

My question is there is any possible way to contain them in one area other than trimming it? There is a section of the rock that has acans, and they dont seem to grow much in that area, I was thinking about surrounding them with acans, would that actually work?

it might do my xenia cant handle 1 shroom and i think acans are more lethal.

you could separate the rock and when it grows on the sand it is easy to deal with.

You cant see the shroom, but you can see the gap in the xenia

I pretty much resort to cutting them back every few weeks or so. I usually end of cutting 10-20 stalks and take them to my local lfs for some in store credit. I think they're pretty cool looking, just need to be maintained. I actually missed a clump when I cut it off and now it's growing in the sand along the back wall of the tank, and starting to spread up the wall.
