Lobos eat acans

[secretreefer]

FYI. not sure if all of you know this. somehow my rainbow acan 3 polyp frag "rolled" into my lobo. when i came home from work yesterday it was being devoured by my lobo. it was like a mouth opened up on the side of the lobo and the acan was half covered with these stringy white things being exuded out of the lobo. anyways just letting you guys know. no pics because i freaked when i saw what was happening but i'll post a pic of the acan. 1 polyp is pretty much all black shrunk and im wondering if i should frag it...... :cry::cry:

Sorry to hear that man. I once had my scoly on a rock and it fell on top of my celebrity chalice and had a feast..
Scolys eat chalices!

DAYMMMM!!! scolys eat anything i think! i wonder ....SCOLY VS LOBO?? WHO WOULD WIN?

Lobos eat lots of things. I was keeping a running tab of unfortunate interactions with my lobo. It finally got to big I had to sell it. It also took out an echinata. It took out my trachyphyllia so I bet it would win against a scoly

uh oh. i'm getting a couple hot trachys next week......thanks emerald, good to know. I wonder why LOBO SCOLY TRACHY WELLSO are so much alike but would eat each other?

I would just leave the acan alone and wait for it to recover by it's self

You're welcome I was so bummed. Stupid tiger conch must have knocked it into the scoly.

I do keep tabs. I have to say the hands down prizewinning champ in my tank was the tube anemone. It wiped out my clove polyps in a singe touch, injured an rbta that lived, and I bet it would win against hydnophora

I have some mushrooms that do a pretty good job of keeping it at bay.

I had a acan eat a feather duster. I guess the feather part came off and the acan ate it.

I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking about plastering it with epoxy.

update another battle happened. my rainbowish lobo that was on a finger type live rock fell right onto my austrolamussa that had a nice red rim and red rims around each mouth....

LOBO 1 AUSTROLAMUSSA 0...... I didn't have my camera to take a pic, again knee jerk reaction. chopped up the austro and only could save a 2x2 inch piece. My lobo does have some damage tho but pretty much took out the whole austro. .
