So I've noticed the past 2 nights, during flashlighting in my tank to check for berghia activity. That what I thought was the chalice pooping since I like to feed it a lot (It has white globs that disappear by the time I check the tank with lights on) are probably Mesenterial filaments for attacking nearby corals. However, this morning before the lights are on, I noticed something blowing back and forth in the current attached to a sweeper tentacle with a bit of the white glob from where the tentacle came out from! Its a dead aiptasia! You can see the really dark glob of a shriveled up aiptasia there. It looks like how they look when you stab them or feed them something nasty lol

This has me nervous for my prized bubble tips if you notice the placement in my PFP between the two. However the current blows the sweepers to the right, not really to the back towards the rbtas.
