Acan against Lobo FIGHT!!

[RareEarthCorals]

Just moving around some corals today and after placing an Acan about two inches from a Lobo later that evening the Acan is covered completely with nematocyst. I didn't get a photo cause my lights are off for the evening. I reach in immediately and pulled off the Acan covered in white stinging strings. FYI, they don't come off. It was coming from the side of the Lobo.

I never thought they would fight like this. I took the Acan and ran it under the powerhead hopeful that I caught it in time. Its looking pretty poor. I also have slight numbness in my hand and fingers, as I didn't even think before I yanked it from the clutches of the Lobo. So I also got stung from the Lobo. The horror...

Mother nature at its finest. It was crazy and must of happened after lights out, about an hour after I noticed it. Ya you should have seen it. It was stringy and ropey coming from the side of the Lobo. It looked like spider web shot over the Acan, yes crazy!!

Wow, hard to believe but the Lobo is a bad ****. Look at the white slime that covers the Acan. No chance!!
