So does my pink xenia. I'm pretty sure any kind of xenia will.

I had to thin my xenia out and I threw what I didn't want into the kitchen garbage. By the next morning it smelled like dead fish rotting on the shore at low tide.
 When I thin out now it goes directly outside in a sealed plastic bag in the garbage can.

Why don't you frag your xenia and trade them to the LFS for corals or food.
