Favia Sting?

[reefer1]

Last night I noticed my JF thrill seeker favia has some long (1.5-2") sweeper tentacles. I am a little worried because it's about 3" below a rasberry limeade acropora. The acropora is about 1" and just about encrusted over the plug but hasn't taken off yet.
Can the favia sting the acro?
Will the sting be harmful?
Thanks!

Yes it can and they can be very damaging for the acro, I'd move which ever one you can.

Agreed. Acros will lose to a Favia every time.

Thanks. So, it seems like I need to move the favia.
Can a favia sting other favias?

Can a favia sting other favias?

Yes. Even some of the same species will try to attack each other for space.
