HELP! Will this sting my other corals?

[PeterB113]

Just got a torch and bubble coral frag from my LFS. I want to put the torch near my frogspawns and hammer coral. Will they sting eachother??? Owner at the store said "all euphyllias are ok to touch eachother". I just want to make sure. Im temp acclimating them now. Please let me know what you guys think.

Hammers and frogspawns are fine together, but the torch needs space. Unfortunately, your lfs is wrong.

Yeah I had a hammer reach out and zap a torch when I had them too close together.

Thanks can u guys help me choose a good spot for it?

Whoa that's some bad advice from the LFS!

Torches can touch each other, but also an experienced reefer has told me that indo and Aussie species should be separated too.

If it were me I would glue it to the top part of scape for the light and water flow as well as space to branch and grow.

Nice tank!

Im just worried that if i put it on the top itll be too much light. I only have 1 AI 16hd what do u think?

You could put it on the far left on the piece that’s sticking out. That would give it some nice space to grow as well.

They mix well and should pose no threat
I have a jungle of them

ya i would put the torch at or near the top left also. the torch will take more light than most hammers or frogspawn. the bubble coral might be a more difficult placement, some play nice while others seem to sting anything in it's reach & it will get pretty large. maybe the bottom left corner on the sand might be a good spot.

Those all look like hammers to me

I moved some things around. I put the torch near my other one and the bubble coral right near that starfish. Looks good so far will probably end up having to move a few things around. Ill post another pic later when everything opens up . thanks for your help!

They don’t call them torches for nothing.
