Odd incident in the tank today...

[Mark9]

Came down to look at the tank, noticed a couple heads on the frogspawn that weren't happy and what looked like some brown jelly on the birdsnest.
Instantly snapped off the birdsnest piece.

Then, I notice my fungia is jacked, stuck behind the flowerpot.
Looks like he got back there and got into a fight with the chalice.
Odd pinkish blob on the sand, circled in blue, second picture.
Sucked that crap out, it was nasty.
Cleaned the skimmer, fricking nasty and full from 1 day.
Put in 2 new chemi-pure blue and a new purigen.
Couple hours later, tank looks like nothing happened. Scary though.
Just *** was the fungia doing?
He's got a nasty injury on one side.
Surprising how quickly the tank's health appeared to be dropping.

I'm glad things straightened out. That can be scary...The tank really looks good.

I didn't know fungia can walk?

They inflate themselves and float to move.

Now that's pretty cool!

 

[Tweaked]

Coral can't walk. But yes they inflate and one of the side effects is current can grab them like a sail boat.

Yeah, never stays in one place very long.
And he goes against the current as well.
So I think he can crawl as well as float.

:hammer: Kill it so it stops moving and messing up your beautiful tank :hammer: :dance:

Glue him to a rock!

That made me laugh. Thanks for that
