They don't like the glass much either.

 

[SVXH6]

any ideas on why they do that?? as far as rocks and glass, i mean i would understand if it was a coral and they felt the need to attack, but its rocks and the glass..

 

[RandyO]

It's just my opinion, but I think they do it to kill surrounding competing organisms. When I had one of my echinatas in my 55 gallon, it would attack the coralline covered glass. After a few weeks, their was a large ring of dead/white coralline. I would guess they do this to pave the way for growth, and prevent other corals from getting too close.

This is what happens when a coral gets too close.
