javisaman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The Bright Green Yuma next to my lobo extended itself about 2" off its base and latched on the the lobo overnight. I woke up to see the yuma attached and the lobo bubbling up (like it had giant blisters or something). I quickly pulled it away and noticed the yuma had eaten away a lot of the lobo's surface exposing the white skeleton underneath. Soon after I separated them the lobo looked normal (blisters gone) except for the exposed skeleton. Now I'm afraid the lobo may get infected because it has a gaping hole on the side. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this from occurring? Link to comment

In Corals there is a discussion of a torch that tore while splitting heads. Would this be a good solution to that situation too? Good luck. I recall an account where an acan echinata did this to a brain and IIRC the brain did not recover. -hank Link to comment
javisaman Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 About 95% of the lobo is perfectly fine and healthy. The only thing wrong is that little bit of skeleton exposed. I can't imagine how it could die unless there is a serious infection. Link to comment
Marteen Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah I would just move it away from the yuma and wait it will probably heal on it's own. Link to comment
