My RFAs have been having a bad time with my octospawn and torch, both of which sting the RFAs when the return pump is in feed mode (and the polyps go down) that then eat their own tentacles. They've all had enough and moved out of the "RFA bed", and one settled right into the codium--I tried moving it gently just to see if it was unattached, but looks like it's got its foot down. The firefish isn't so happy about it, because the RFA is partially blocking it's cave entrance (see tail sticking out).

This is fine. Right?

p.s. I thought the nems would be the problematic ones, but this torch and (especially) octospawn are beasts.
 
Just leave it be, if you move it you risk damaging the foot which is almost always a death sentence. I doubt the octo is hurting the nem, the sting from the nem is more potent than the octospawn, the torch is iffy, but you get what im saying, They can irritate each other. RFAs are super hardy and even harder to kill. Just let it do its thing.
