Burner of the Tips
My hydnophora spends most of its life attacking the monti cap that spends most of its life trying to grow away from the hydnophora. As you probably expect, the hydnophora has been winning this race. That is, until a recent development has turned the tables.
The last time the hydnophora killed a large chunk of the cap, a mat of cyano began to grow over the dead tissue. I am not a tidy reefer and this is behind the main view anyway so I just left it alone. It’s been a few weeks now and the cyano is still there but surprisingly, it has prevented the hydnophora from advancing over the now dead section of cap which is what it’s always done in the past. You can see in the picture a diagonal line of cyano going up from 4:00-10:00.
In its frustration, the hydnophora is nuking a tiny piece that was left alive after a previous assault. Here is a crappy pic of this. You can kind of see the warfare going on.
Anyway, thanks cyano for giving my monti cap some time to grow away from the demon coral.
