looks like my acan is eating the frog spawn.
There's no point, thought it's a cool picture so I'd thought I'd share it. No need for any sarcasm around here. :rolleye1:

I would try to move one of them. One of the two will eventually sting the hell out of the other.

J. haven't figured out how to frag the Acan's, when i do you're more than welcome to have a frag.

To frag them it is really easy. A dremel along with a diamond wheel. Cut right where you want to. No problems.

Re: My Acan Lords SUCK!
Nice pic.
Both of those corals are aggressive. If you want my take of this situation, the frogspawn sent out sweepers to sting the Acan. When they came in contact, the Acan fought back by swallowing the sweepers. The stomach of Acanthastrea contain mesinary filaments that are used for aggression. Normally, they expell them at night to attack nearby corals.
In this case, it swallowed the corals it wanted to attack.
Anyway, very cool pic. Thanks for sharing.

i had my acan in a nice place(what i thought was), and his mesinary filaments came out one night and totally melted(for lack of better word) a nearby mushroom, and then he did the same to another mushroom on the other side. I guess he is my tank landscaper, trimming the weeds around him
