Hydnopora question

[Snappy]

In my experience they usually only extend when there is something nearby it wants to eat. I had an acro beside one for months (about 2-3") and then out of nowhere one day it looked like a big spider web was covering it that was coming from the hydnophora. That acro was toast.

Good to know. I moved mine a bit farther away from the gorgonians.

FWIW, I had blue mushrooms once that killed my hydno, so some things can get closer. Just not other SPS

I think mushrooms can kill anything really. Mushrooms, Green Star Polyps and Xenia seem to be indestructible and grow right over other corals.
