How to rid a Blasto Colony of Anthelia?

jasper24 · 08/03/2006, 02:43 PM

I have a colony of Blasto Wellsi that has some brown Anthelia growing all around the sides and bottom. I want to get rid of it but I have tried scraping it off with minimal results. Is there a safe way to get rid of it? I was thinking maybe covering it with super glue gel but am not sure if that will prevent the Blasto's from spreading to that area in the future. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.

I've rid xenia from a rock that was smothering a prized ricordea. I think you just may have to keep scraping till you get it all off... luckily, some of the xenia base was peelable in spots...

maybe scrape, then glue suspect spots?

Anthellia peel off easily unlike xenia which can leave residuals which can regrow.
