Reef Warfare

Wow. After yanking out a few majanoe pest anemones from the tank, something coincidentally triggered a reef warfare among the yellow birdsnest coral (the dead, white coral in the middle of the pic) and the brown, stringy Pavona behind it. The Red Planet coral to the right of the dead birdsnest also suffered. There is some tissue death at the base of the Red Planet, but it has since slowed down, so I think it's going to stabilize. If not, I'd have to frag it to pieces so that I won't lose $100's of dollars of a worthy coral. Meanwhile, I've noticed that there are parts of the yellow birdsnest coral that have BGA at the base which seems to have protected it from further tissue death.
