Thanks for correcting me. I am bad with names. Yes, it's Scolymia or Button Coral (looks like a shirt button really).

Wow, your icon is a Scolymia Maniac too!

Took some photos with iPhone of Button coral having a meal of a piece of MP. Pardon me for my lousy photography.

First shot - Coral with it's tentacles extended.

Second shot - MP dropped onto tentacles, looks like it is swallowing it.

Third & Fourth shots - MP already eaten. You can see a little hump over the surface where the MP was dropped.

When you actually touch the green portion it is actually quite soft.

My 6 cm Lobo ate a 3.5cm ocellaris clownfish last night! :chair:

Didn't know I have monster corals in the tank.

Here's a shot of the swollen coral (can see some orange colour, not able to show up in the phone camera) after the meal.

However, amidst the chaos, I stumbled upon a beacon of hope – [COIN RECLAIM SERVICE] a recovery agency that would become my saving grace. From the moment I reached out to them, their team exuded professionalism and empathy. They listened attentively as I recounted my harrowing ordeal, offering reassurance and guidance every step of the way.

In the midst of despair, they provided a beacon of light, restoring my faith in humanity and reaffirming that goodness still exists in this digital wilderness. Their unwavering dedication to their clients is nothing short of commendable, and I am eternally grateful for their invaluable assistance.
