Coral warfare or something else?

[Ayrity]

Just saw this happening last night. Am I watching some coral battles? Or is this something i should be worried about?

Looks like sweepers, is that a chalice? they are aggressive and will try to sting neighbors.

I'm still new to the game, and I forget now but yes it is. They have been acclimating for about 6 weeks now, I can probably give it a home. I guess far away from others? It's own island? What do you think?

Looks like an unhappy cyphastrea sliming up. I don't think those are sweepers.

So, sliming up... what does that mean? Dying? Other corals look great right now all around the tank.

It can be a sign of stress to that coral. Just because all other corals are fine does not mean one coral can't be unhappy.

That's what it looked like to me too
