    Bigger image please. Clown indiscriminately hate certain corals, there is no rhyme or reason other than the coral might be located in her designated territory.

    May be blastomussa, but I'm leaning towards acanethastrea lordhowensis. Looks like it's not happy though.

    I just fed it in that picture, It doesn't help that my clown is bullying it.

    Micromussa? If any coral goes near my female gold band maroon clowns territory she will destroy it. Move it away from the area your clownfish resides.

    I've seen it in person and I'm pretty sure it's blasto.
