I thought this was going to end bad so I separated them as soon as I saw this. This Lobo had a mouth full of hammer tentacle and I knew it would only be a minute before that Lobo attacked. It sends out mesenterial filaments anytime it's disturbed.

So far this is my most aggressive coral

Yes, an orange plate. He jumped off the frag rack (that was/is keeping the plates safe from hermits) and landed on the frogspawn. No one was injured.
I don't have photos of this, but once he was back on the sand, he slowly moved towards the duncan and he hurt the duncans tentacles, orange plate was unharmed.

Wow. Just wow.

Almost makes you wonder what FOWLR keepers are thinking.

Ouch! Birdsnest has no chance! Against any coral really. Nice shot.

These photos are just wild. I love this Thread!

so i'm suspicious that some of my corals might be doing this, but have never caught them in the act. how late do i have to stay up to see stuff like this going down? and what are your light schedules (what times do you set your lights to go off/on?) and approximately what time do you see this happening?

Great thread, even better pictures. Great shots guys and gals.

I separated these two and moved the lobo to a shaded spot under monti cap. Came home a couple days ago and the lobo had attacked the monti!

Off to the frag tank you go!

Bubble Gum Monster vs Ponape Birdsnest

I didn't know they could attack from that far away! Did the birds nest survive?
