Just out of curiousity.... can candycanes and lobos touch? my candycanes tentacles come with in centimeters of the lobo if not touching sometimes.... do I need to do some moving or should they be ok? anyone know?
 
 
Also last night I found one of my ricordia clippings stuck on my brain Ouch it litterally killed the skin it touched and burned a hole all the way to the skeleton, so I'm just wondering if it will it heal over time or will always have a hole in it?

The brain can heal over time. Try to keep algae from growing on it until the tissue grows back over the skeleton.

I don't know and can't really help you, but to give you an idea of the lobo's power... I had my birds nest coral knocked onto my lobo while i was sleeping and woke up just 6 hours later, it destroyed (completely, no polyps at all) 95% of it. just the tips and the base were left while the lobo just got one little tiny burn mark less than a quarter of an inch. ( i have never seen my lobo's tenticles or whatever it used, but it killed behind the part touching it and all around the whole branch.

edit: and they weren't on top of eachother, just side by side.
