Something is eating my Xenia

[Gumby]

Ok,
I have this Xenia that was growing real well and suddenly something seems to be eating the tips.

Is it the regal?

If I were you I would check for Nudibranchs. There is a species that looks like Xiena and eats Xiena like cookies.

Regals and Powder blues will eat certain corals. I've had both and both ate not only xenia but frog spawn and candy cane Needless to say..they're gone now.

Watch the fish closely... you will catch it in the act if it's doing it.

I have a yellow tang that loves to pick at my colt coral. If that helps any Hope you find the culprit

I'm in the same boat as you min.
If I oculd get a fish or something that would eat xenia and no other corals I'd be all over it (except maybe it could eat aiptasia as well)

I have a lifetime supply of xenia for my store now.

I have a French angel that can't swim past pulsing Xenia without having a nip. I think the movement is just too enticing, not that the fish has any real appetite for it.

My wife has informed me that it is definately the Regal.

Bummer is that she really likes the Xenia and the Regal is my fav fish (so its not leaving the tank).
