pnkrcklives Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have some xenia growing from a couple of the stems of my green people eaters. How should I get rid of it. Should I clip it close to the stalk. If I do wont it just grow back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnkrcklives Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Wont that harm the People eaters. What if I miss they are really thin long stalks. Maybe I will just frag them to save the whole mass then work with the frags to alleviate the xenia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Use a pair of tweezers. Grab the xenia as close to the base a possible and "peel" it off the palys. I have been able to peel xenia off many different substances including rock, glass, plastic, and other coral. If you do it right, you can get it all and it won't grow back. If you do it wrong (leave a small bit of flesh attached) then more xenia will grow from the small bit... Not bad, because once it get's big enough you can just pull it again. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
