Noticed poor polyp extension and what looks like mesenterial filament deployed to the site of the damage, this christmas favia in the left is admittedly probably too close.
Thoughts?

Could be. Check them out in the dark and see if they are fighting. I’ve seen some long sweepers on some coral at night!

I went ahead and moved the blasto, even if the favia didnt sting it this time, it would definitely become a problem in the future. Ive never seen long sweepers come from this favia but this variety seems like its definitely capable of them from what I saw online.
