all fish, even reef wsafe ones have personalities and through both nature and nurture can become bad and a problem. soemtimes you need to catch the fish and get it out.

dont kill it. figure out how to catch it and give it away to your lfs for credit. I once tortured and killed a fish I needed to get out of my tank, instead of taking the time to catch it and it is one of the things I remember doing that I very much regret. You added it, regardless of what brought it to where it is at least do everything you can within reason to get it out safely.

xenia can be fickle. while it is regarded as a weed in many circles it can thrive in one tank and wither and die in another and everything in between. Your tank could be simply one of many that as it matures it loses the ability to support xenia
