What eats Xenia?

I just put 3 large stalks of Xenia in my tank and something has nipped them down to stubs of silver flesh on the rock. I did not realize that something eats this stuff?

Fish, Shrimp, crabs? Anyone know?

My bicolor goby nips on them thats why I have to move the xenia near the top of my tank. He does not swim in that area now they are growing.

Some fish will nip at them, but there's also a Xenia nudi that will mow them down.
