Are these guys gonna sting each other?

[FugeTown]

just curious if I put these guys too close, didn't realize how big the flower pot coral gets and it's starting to get really close to that Kenya tree. Is that gonna cause a war between the these two corals?

How close are they? I would give each 5-10 inches for growth but they should be fine at that current size.

I don't believe these have sweepers like a pectinia or favia would. If the corals are visibly touching, they will sting. If not, they should be fine.

Goniopora have nematocysts at the tips of there polyps that will sting. They don't have to touch.

Guess I'll move the Kenya tree cause I don't want to stress out that flower pot he likes it there, thanks for the reply.

They are about 4" the wave maker causes the flower pot heads to sway around close to it though, gonna move the Kenya tree away further
