I have been considering where to place a future torch coral, and it is somewhat close to a frogspawn, I can't find a definite answer as to if torches and frogspawns can touch without stinging and killing each other. What is your experience with these 2 species touching?

- thanks

I don't know for sure but I would think you would NOT want them touching. Torch would probably have easy work of the fs.

My experience would be to keep the Torch away from the Frogspawn.

I love Gonis and Euphyllia. Maybe too much

I keep mine separated. They w.i.l.l. go to war. You can safely keep Frogs and Hammers together, but torches are aggressive and should have their space. Even with other corals. I had a torch reach 6 inches to attack another coral. Here’s my placement

Ok cool, thanks for the info

I just moved the frogspawn in order to make space for the torch once I get it, thanks
