There are plenty of Xenia eating nudibranchs. Unfortunately they aren't typically available in the hobby unless they hitchhike in by accident.

Get in there and rip it up by the base - don't cut it, it will just grow back thicker. Get a fingernail or something under the edge and tear it out. Then frag it and sell it to your lfs for store credit. I purchased a 200 gal. Oceanic stand with store credit from xenia frags back in 2002.
