Monit digi Vs. Zoas...Unexpected results

[Salamander]

An orange digi and some type of orange zoas have been growing closer and closer. I thought I'd have to intervene and pull some zoas.

But to my surprise the digi has grown right over the zoas! Its grown over 6 or so zoa polyps in the last two weeks. Now there are little bumps where the digi has covered the zoa polyps.

I thought the zoas would be the winner in this battle.

Wow that is cool! I would have put my money on the zoas too. Very cool :thumbsup:

Very interesting. I'd have bet on the zoas, too. But I have a digi that has held its own creditably against a torch...so they've sure got something. (I did separate those two, for the good of both.)

Wow, thats a bit of a surprise indeed. Any chance to see a picture of the monti where it covered the zoas?

I had an Acro (A. microphthalma) vs zoa battle before and it was pretty much a stalemate.

I was surprised to see the digi grow over the zoas.

I would have lost a bet on this one though.

A digi holding its own against a torch...now that's amazing.

I knew pics would be requested. I'm looking for my camera now. I may have left it at work.

I just noticed today that my sunset monti is growing over zoas as well.


Pretty crazy!!

But I have a red digi with zoas growing on it!!!


It's a crazy coral world LOL!!!!

Here's a picture. The MH's were off so it looks quite blue but you can still see some bumps where the Monti has covered some zoa polyps.

I'm not sure how I can separate these two except for trying to remove or just killing some of the nearby zoa polyps. But for now there seems to be no ill effects.

Remarkable. May the force be with you!
