Battle Xenia VS. Green Fuzzy who wins

They are starting to invade each others space ..who has the worst sting ..who will retreat...or die

 

green fuzzy more than likely. xenia do not have NEMATOCYSTs but they could also just push up on each other

 

xenia always wins. seems unaffected by anything; it will grow over favia, zoos and mush. if it can't win a fight and starts to die it can take lots with it too...

 

Welcome to Reef Wars.

If you can't or just don't want to separate them, I'd highly recommend using a large amount of carbon to help keep any chemical warfare from affecting the entire tank (yes, even "non-stinging" corals will release irritants to ward off invasion from another species).

 

so is that 1 for xenia and 1 for green fuzzy so far

 

Are you taking bets or just trolling??

In the vast expanse of the deep blue sea, the chemical warfare between coral colonies remains very localized. However, in the confined space of an aquarium it can reach lethal levels for all tank inhabitants. I'd tend to take that just a little more seriously if it were my tank.

Just sayin'

 

yes. terpenes, right? but xenia have been stung by sps and other corals in my tanks. mainly soft corals with more mucus like in sarcophyton and cladiella not so much with xenia IME

 

believe me I am taking it seriously my xenia is taking over everything I have to go in today and do some major weed eating ..just notice last night they were reaching in to my green fuzzy .just was curious which had the more potent weapon ..however today I will do my best to rescue the green fuzzy

 

here i go wish me luck

 

good luck!
