Warfare
Well my Acanthastrea echinata decided to eat another one of my Favites that I have sitting next to it. I love these things but they can be sooo aggressive sometimes.
Caught in the act!! A closer view. You can see the mesentery filaments from the Acan eating the Favites. Here you can see the aftermath. The Favites in front of the green one was attacked a couple weeks ago. I need to frag both of them now. :x Be careful what you put next to these guys. |

My favites was similarly attacked a few months ago. I don't know the name of the coral that attacked it. Crazy to see such sedentary creatures attacking each other!

Some tolerate their neighbors well and some don't at all.

Acan Echinatas are killing machines. I have one and the nearest corals to it is 3-4" away in all directions. It already took out 3 chalices. I was able to save all three but had to frag one down to a tiny 1"x1" frag in the end. They defiantely don't play well with other corals .

In case you hadn't already concluded this, you need to relocate some of your corals. They are too close & are becoming anti-social!

Here's a more recent shot of the aftermath.
An actinic shot. |
