    Just thought I'd make a quick post with pics of my moon favia eating full pieces of krill because I have personally never seen it eat full pieces of krill yet (only little pieces of debris in the current). Was interesting to watch! Really didn't know that the polyp could extend outwards from the favia as much as it did- basically engulfing the krill.
