Do plate corals fight with each other? My orange short tentacles keeps inflating and moving directly on top of my green long tentacles trying to smother him. I've had these corals for 2 years with no issues previously....really strange behavior.

Well this is the current situation. Greeny has puffed up and appears to be keeping orange off him right now.

Soooooo neat. I love the behavioral aspects of this hobby. Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous corals btw!
Orange is thinking that persistence pays off.
Edit: that was a bad joke. Someone should refer orange to CR*

did this start before, during or after the eclipse?
Doesn't look like they've done damage to each other. My best guess is that the orange plate is trying to relocate to a slightly better spot and the green long tentacle plate is in the way.

That was my first thought and I moved him to the other side and he scooted back on top of the green. I moved him to the middle front and he worked his way back to the corner.

Does this not also look like an act of desperation from a higher-than-average IQ invert?
Perhaps they know something that we don't...
