if you looked at it this morning and there is damage its another corals stomach/sweepers attacking it.
if there is no damage its the lobos stomach/sweepers attacking something else or just looking for food.

It doesn't look like mucus . You can see the feeder tentacles in the middle. The one on bottom looks different????? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Its probably fighting with the coral to the right of it or trying to. Mine used to do this when it was close to some acans

Yes, mesentery filaments. Be careful putting anything near those, as they are much more lethal to neighbors than typical sweepers.

Yeah my lobo used these bad boys to go to town on some acans. Was amazing how far they went, these things were on a mission! 100x times worse than sweepers I think.

This coral stung my red and green Welso. Luckily i got my welso out fast and dipped him. He slimmed up for a few hours, but is doing better last few days. Fully open.... The side that was hit isn't opening as much though....
