Coral Warfare

[sen5241b]

I put a Sinularia next to a green mushroom and the mushroom melted into a slimey goo. Costly but I actually enjoyed watching this happen.

 

Is there a website that can tell you what coral kills another or wins?

 

In my experience:

 

Green Star Polyps vs Green Brain (Favia) -- GPS wins

Green Mushroom vs Sinularia -- Sinularia wins

Yellow Zoas vs GPS -- Zoas win but the di not completely kill GPS

 

???

Yellow zoa's win for a little, but GSP encrusts over them. GSP pretty much wins over most corals.

That is just what I was looking for. Very interesting. According to that thread green mushroom kills most other corals -except Sinularia as I have learned! BTW, my Sinularia has grown so big it may soon not fit on my tank. I'm fragging it then going to sell it.

Piper, any chance you have a frag of blue star polyps that you would be willing to trade for something? Like bright green gsp? Any chance anyone knows what makes sinaria or pulsing denial die? I can't seem to grow it! I have nothing but gsp, a couple of mushrooms and rics.

Not that I could pull out, there are just a couple polyps on big rocks in the main tank that I can't get out, if I could they would be yours! I am sure someone has some you can have, make a post for them.

If you meant Sinualria, I give it strong Mh light and good water quality beyond that I don't do anything special.
