Help with Identification and Advice

[figgy]

This is a picture of two corals in my tank. I'm not sure what either on is called. the green one looks like a tightly cut grass that waves with the current and when touched stops.

The problem I have is it seems it is attacking the cup coral. As you can see from the picture where it is starting to turn brown.

Any advice on removing it from the rock(the cup coral that is)

Anyone have any negative experience with the green grass coral.

thanks

The coral is a Pavona and it is quite aggressive and grows quickly. You'll need to move the Turbinaria. Just crack it off the rock as best as you can and try to keep the Pavona isolated to that area i.e. don't let other rocks touch it.

green grass coral?
coral aggression is common. they will fight for real estate.
the dominate one will survive.
hammer and chisel will probabaly be needed.

Thanks! Looks like the Turbinaria will have to find a new home as well as the montipora's that are attached to the same rock.

I called it green grass coral becuase I had no idea of it's real name and it looks to me like tightly cut grass. lol
