Greg Hiller BRS Moderator Staff member Moderator BRS Member Oct 24, 2008 #5 There are quite a few butterflyfish that will eat soft corals, including Xenia. To get one that only eats Xenia might be hard. I think there might be some Xenia specific nudibranchs though if you really want it gone. I've not heard of anyone selling them regularly though.
