I found this interesting becuase the xenia looks like it is trying to pull away.The hydnophora seems to want to consume it.

yeah i have seen the xenia pull away from my anemone when it expends.usualy not fasy enough but i can tell that it does.it also creeps from the top of the tank down on the back wall when the water level drops for longer than normal.when the tank is back in proper maintenance they start back up again to the top.this leads me to believe that they can very well become a pest of sorts in some tanks but i will have to further confirm this through marooning more specimens to there designated islands and see how that goes.

This picture is one of the Galaxea corals nemotocysts in my hands. So farCoral Sweeper Tenticle Damage - Page 2 <a href=Coral Sweeper Tenticle Damage - Page 2 Dscf2314" /> I have only seen two corals do this to me, one is my platygyra , and the other is this Galaxea coral.

Here you may be able to see it better under actinics. The little end caps anchored into my skin.

Both of those corals you mentioned are pretty powerful contenders who both seem to love to fight. It's too bad really as both are beautiful corals.
