[Sam816]

Are these aggressive towards other coral? Can input them close to plate coral or hammers?

I wouldn't put them next to a hammer. I wouldn't put anything next to a hammer

Hammers can sting a blasto. I was fragging some of my hammers this past week and put a frag a little close to my AC Black Cherry blasto and one of the arms on the hammer touched the blasto. The blasto had a pinched looked on that side for a day or so after I moved the hammer. It is back to normal now but it obviously did not like that experience.

In regards to having the blasto being aggressive? My blastos really don't reach far and are model citizens in the tank in regards to any type of coral warfare. But then again, they tend to be on their own rock.
