So today, on a hunch, i went home for lunch and checked out the tank.

And when i get home i see my $15 orange fungia had been moved 18" across the sand bed floor and placed itself perfectly on top of my Rising Sun chalice frag.

Nothing appears to be wrong with the Rising Sun, but it sure got the blood pumping for a few minutes.....dam fungia being all jealous of the RS....

I am sure it was my Coris Wrasse combined with dumb luck but still.....what have your incidents been with cheap stuff attempting to murder expensive stuff?
 
Saturday I came home in the afternoon to find that the last turbo snail (only still there because he stays behind the rocks) had decided to turn over my BGM, Oregon mummy eye, and pink ******* frags. none of them were damaged but still. I am now turboless and glad.

Been there, i had a turbo knock my Bowser paly off the rock and face down into the sand....right in front of me....

Needless to say i took the snail out back and shot him
 
I doubt it's your wrasse... My orange plate puffs up and moves all by it's self... It covered my rainbow one and I left it thinking it would move again or spawn "haha j/k" and it didn't I had to seperate them... Next day it moved again until it was happy.... Weird but cool :tongue:
 
yeah. had that happen. marine betta and peppermint hog beating up my supermale golden rhomboid to death.. i was ready to grab my speargun.....
 
Scubachris' orange fungia crawled on top of a colony of pom pom xenia. He moved it back, and put a chunk of live rock between the two. The next day, the fungia had navigated over the live rock and was contentedly smothering the xenia yet again!
 
Fungia corals are capable of moving, even uphill. It's actually very common!
