Ricordia eating my Platygyra

Dear reefers,

Last weekend, I decide to shift my brain (Platygyra) to accomodate place for my Goniopora who is been stung by my ever growing BTA. So I placed the brain with about 1 inch of gab next to my ricordias.

Next day, I notice the brain's edges started to turn white! I thought it was due to the shifting and thus did nothing.

Yesterday, when I return home I saw half the brain was whitish and saw one of the rics fully stretched and sticking to the brain as if ###### all the "brain juices" away! :shock:

I quickly remove the brain to another part of the tank.

Has any reefers encountered this before? Are Rics really so aggressive?

Will I still be able to nurse the brain back to health?

:thanks:

Hoho, i encountered the same problem as you jus yesterday, open brain was beside my yuma and when i got home, a part of the brain turned white, luckily only a small part of it was damaged... today morning saw that it recovered and is doing better... shift your brains further away from your rics or yumas cos they sting and irritate your brains...

Yes Ricodia Yuma or Florida is known to sting certain corals around them,

Yes should the condition be right your brain will heal in no time.

Hope this helps.

Wah you also kena?! Hope your recovers soon. I personally dun have much luck with open brains. ;)

Actually, I though 1" is quite sufficient to separate the rics from the brain but, I think not now.

Aiyah, come to think of it, I will forgive them (Yumas) cuz from what I know both Yumas and Floridas are protected and there is a ban on harvesting them. :D

Am I correct bro?

i'm not sure abt yumas..... think they r still readily available from indo stocks.

as for floridas, sources put it as they r currently under restrictions from exporting out from the states and carribean.
