Notice my anthelias and xenias release this extremely long "comb" like web from their polyps at night. these nets will retract back after a few seconds of swaying in the water. looks as though they are catching food particles or something. i never knew xenias and anthelias can capture food? to my knowledge at least...

anyone here have any idea? quite mesmerising actually...to see long strands emerge and retract rapidly in a second or two.

here is a picture. its hard to capture becoz its very transparent. but u can see roughly. and have drawn myself what it looks like in person.
