So I took my LR out and scrubbed it clean. How ever there are some very small little bits of xenia here and there. Any tip on killing these little bits with out removing the rock?
 
Kalk paste.. Xeinia are a PITA if you don't want them. If you have little flesh left over it will come back.
 
if you have the rock out them you can chip pieces off or acid bath it. In the tank is a real chore like roscoe is saying. persistence
 
I have removed the rock and used a blow tourch with great success!

Just recently found some aiptasia in my tank and got rid of it easily by placing them under a stream of hot water from the sink until they drop off. Probably work the same for almost any pest you don't want.
