I wouldn't worry about it. that stuff is really tough! I've had a powerhead suck it in and spit it out into pieces and they ALL became new stalks. Just sit back and enjoy your tank

LOL sambrinar.

I have suctioned my xenia many times while siphoning and have even sucked off a piece of tentacle. They recover fine.
