I added a small peice of Xenia a few month ago. Did a water change the other day and noticed that it is taking over another live rock. I don't want it to. What do I do?

Xenia needs to be treated like GSP, you keep it isolated unless you want it spreading. Pull it off the rock you don't want it on but if any of the base is still attached it could regrow.

Pull out/off what you can. Base material left can be killed off with a coating of think kalkwasser paste (aka Joes Juice, Aptasia X, Ms. Wage's Pickleing Lime, etc.). Allow the paste to sit for at least 15 minutes. Siphon off the paste with an airline hose or a turkey baster. I find it best to do this while doing a water change. Don't add anymore xenia :).
