cannibalistic acan

I found my big acan colony, eating a acan frag I had. Is this common?

That!

And it's not eating it, it's killing it. Chemical warfare at its best.

:lmao: Sorry to laugh but it looks more like hand to hand combat than Chemical warfare.

Yup, I have an a. echinata colony that has destroyed about 6 other colonies. That m. lordhowensis frag didn't stand a chance.
