Carpet anenome eating scolymia

[Joseph Pagnotta]

I have been watching my 55 gallon reef aquarium via my Furbo Pet Camera and I am watching what I believe to be the Medium sized anenome "walking "over the sand bed where my Australian War Paint Scolymia was. My question can a Carpet anenome eat a coral or maybe the better question is WILL IT? THANKS

Well it won't necessarily eat it, but it can sting the scoly enough to where the scoly may have severe tissue damage/ may not be able to recover if not dealt with early.

I would move the scoly further away from the nem until you're sure that the nem has found a long term home.

Well funny how the almighty Carpet Anenome I believe met it's match with my Scolymia. The Scolymia was definitely stung but reuped as you can see.

The anemone looks stressed. How long have you had the Haddoni?

Long story short not likely to eat corals, the coral would have to fall directly on the anemone. The Haddoni could however sting and damage every coral it comes across. Haddoni prefer a softer/finer substrate in which to foot and will continue to wander looking for spot ime.

Well here's An Update. The Scolymia Won the Fight. It was in my tank at least 6 months. When it wandered it went directly over the Scolymia for about 6 hours as I watched with pains in my stomach. But the were for the Scolymia not Carpet anenome. dang

Why did you take the carpet out of the tank?

Watch it closely. There is significant damage to it and since it was still acclimating to your tank, it will have a hard time recovering.

Nah Brother. I appreciate your comments. Not new to reefing, it started to expelling the brown color out his mouth and my Angel and my wrasse are to interested in it as as they sense weaknesses. I will take the L
