corals touching?

[salty420]

i noticed my xenia touches some of my zoas, is this a problem?

As i am aware, the xenia does not have stinging capabilities....

Yeah .. you're fine with that one... alot of the LPS are more the ones you should worry about ... SPS not so much .. and really almost none of the softies except Zoanthids and Palyathoa.

thanks guys! i am going to be moving some things around soon - my frogspawn and kenya tree are almost touching and i know that's not ok... just wanted to see if i had to move the xenia too... thanks again

Well, the Xenia can choke out and literally grow on top of the zoas, so I would keep some distance if you can. There are more forms of competition than just stinging and chemicals, after all.

they're on seperate rocks so i'm hoping the xenia won't crowd out the zoas. i hope...
