Those are def sweepers. That’s wild man. Mine 100% don’t spit those out. I’ve never seen candy canes do that’s. All I’ve seen are the tiny bull crap feeder tentacles that can’t hurt anything.There's a good video of them in action
do mushrooms sting? Do you have to place like species together or can you place any mushrooms close to other types of mushrooms. i have about 10 small babies now! Some yet to be delivered! Do you know if frogspawns do well with hammers or torches?Here's how I have most of my ricordea (lower, right) and mushrooms (center left) positioned on the main rock in the center. To the far lower right you can see my elegance and peach hammer (they're about 4-5" apart). On the lower left you can see one my rose bubbletip anemones, a gree cyphastrea and part of a red challice sticking out. You can also see various zoas scattered separately on different rocks. This isn't necessarily 'expert' advice - just my personal/aesthetic preference (I've tried to leave room for the frags and colonies to grow without conflicting with each other). Sometimes the fish will knock some of the corals I've glued down loose and I'll use that opportunity for reflection when replacing. Apologies for the photo - it was feeding time at the zoo - so I just crabbed a quick snapshot.
Insanely long sweepers! I have never seen anything like that in my tank!Oh wow... never seen that before.
I don't think so, but I've seen them stung by other corals. I have kept my rhodactis and ricordea separated, yes. I don't know about frogspawn (yet).do mushrooms sting?

Rhodactis shrooms are murder biscuits. A buddy dropped a torch on his and it nearly killed the torch. Frogspawns are in the hammer family. Frogspawn/hammer/o to spawn can be together. Torch/cristata can be together. The two families don’t mix welldo mushrooms sting?

I’ve always heard that Fimbriaphyllia and Euphyllia can’t touch, but I’ve never had issues, right now I have a torch touching a frogspawn and a hammer and all three are just fine. So long as you give the actual polyps a little bit of room/make sure the skeletons aren’t touching, they’ll be fine, the tentacles touching shouldn’t be an issue.Rhodactis shrooms are murder biscuits.

Edit: Ricordea shrooms don’t hurt anything
Here are the corals... lumi snake skin torch closeby and touching the oz reverse hammer.Just learned the hard way yesterday that torch and hammer don't go well together... my gold hammer accidentally fell close to the hellfire... the hellfire plugged a few tentacles out of the gold hammer... luckily i noticed it early and both recovered and doing fine.
Surprisingly, in different part of the tank my lumi snake skin torch are touching the oz reverse hammer next to it without any issues (so far).
It mostly just depends on the individual coral. I have friends who can’t keep theirs close together because they go to war by my torch, cristata, and hammer have never grown sweepers or sent them out. I even saw a post on here where someone’s candy canes were murdering their euphylia with sweepers. Mine don’t even have sweepers lol. But as a general rule hammer family and torch family = nothing good together. Most problems I’ve seen are with octo/frogspawn. They seem to be the most murdery of the bunchI’ve always heard that Fimbriaphyllia and Euphyllia can’t touch, but I’ve never had issues, right now I have a torch touching a frogspawn and a hammer and all three are just fine.
