Anyway is it a problem that there are constant warfares taking place in a tank? Will the chemicals released by the corals effectively removed by skimming? Cause i always have this thought that the chemicals released by them are not effectively removed causing greater stress to my corals in the near future.  ;)

Hmmm ... I don't know man. :unsure: If I remember correctly, I read that you shouldn't keep Leather corals in SPS tanks because Leather corals release toxin that are harmful to SPS? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Hope the senior reefers here can offer some comments. :bow:

Discosoma vs Lobophyllia = Not sure which coral is injured. Does the "intestines" belong to the Mushroom or the Lobo? :unsure:

Seeing that both corals are quite far away, I also have no idea how the battle took place. :unsure:

The little fishie must be wondering what all the fuss about. :lol:

Discosoma vs Lobophyllia

I think the lobo will win. I have similar experience with lobo stinging my merulina (not sure spell correctly) - the merulina was badly injured, exactly the thread like stuff you have shown comes from the lobo.

But I noticed something interesting - frogspawn has no effect on Lobophyllia and even the frogspawn doesn't sting the lobo too. Not sure if others have the same experience.

Yes, you spelt Merulina correctly. :D

I'm not sure which is the winner between Discosoma and Lobophyllia because both has those intestine-like stuff in their flesh.

As for the Merulina, I don't think it has those intestine-liked stuff.

So between the Merulina and Lobophyllia, I would think the injured party is the Lobophyllia because the intestines came from the Lobo. Perhaps the Lobo is hardier and can recover better than the Merulina.

I don't know, I could be wrong. :bow:

Here you'd see the damaged done by the Yuma stinging my prized Red Cynarina.  The injured part started to dissolve and a mucus layer has formed.

:angry:  :angry:  :angry:

Just to share my experience on how I dealt with the above. Please note that I'm not sure if this is the correct way to deal with it but this is what I did. Please share if you have other methods of dealing with it. :bow:

1. Cynarina's mucus and dissolving flesh after being stung by the Yuma. :angry:

2. Not wanting to let the mucus/flesh disintegrate in the tank, I used a pipette to carefully suck out the mucus and loose pieces of flesh. :eyebrow:

3. The damaged flesh was retracted and doesn't look good. :(

4. Just one day later, the Cynarina is recovering well. :yeah:

Yes you are correct especially the finger corals like lobophytum species.

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

      WANT TO GET BACK STOLEN CRYPTO ASSETS REACH OUT TO TECHNOCRATE RECOVERY

      My journey into the realm of online investing began innocently enough, with the promise of lucrative returns and the allure of quick profits. Little did I know, I was about to embark on a harrowing journey that would lead me down the treacherous path of deception and betrayal. It all started with a seemingly friendly encounter on Discord, where I met someone who presented themselves as a seasoned trader with an unbeatable strategy in the forex market. Intrigued by the prospect of multiplying my investment, I decided to take the plunge and entrusted $3,000 into their hands. What followed was a whirlwind of excitement as I watched my investment double in less than a month, seemingly validating my decision. Buoyed by initial success, I eagerly poured more funds into the venture, watching in awe as my portfolio swelled to an impressive $45,000 within a few short months. The promise of even greater returns loomed on the horizon, filling me with a sense of invincibility. However, as the saying goes, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Reality came crashing down when I attempted to withdraw my profits, only to be met with a barrage of excuses and demands for additional payments. What began as a quest for financial freedom soon devolved into a nightmare of endless requests for "taxes" "fees" and "processing charges." It was then that the cold realization dawned upon me—I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam, orchestrated by someone I once considered a friend. Desperate and disillusioned, I confided in a trusted confidant, who, in turn, introduced me to (TECHNOCRATE RECOVERY). Skeptical yet hopeful, I reached out to them, laying bare the details of my ordeal and clinging to the sliver of hope they offered. From the moment I made contact, I was met with professionalism, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to righting the wrongs inflicted upon me. (TECHNOCRATE RECOVERY) wasted no time in springing into action, deploying their expertise and resources to unravel the intricate web of deceit that ensnared me. With precision and determination, they navigated through the labyrinth of digital trails, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice.
