Ricordea Florida aggression

[Nate82]

ok so my yuma's a prick and attacked my scolly in my 15 but i have a 5.5 zoa garden in progress and i was wondering if i could put ricordea florida in there? would they sting and kill all my zoas? its not reasonable for me to have such fast multiplying corals in such a small tank if they will kill eachother thanks for the help guys

They will sting and eventually kill the zoa's but it's not a big deal if they touch for a day. So yes, rics are more aggressive than zoanthids..:)

so it's prolly a bad idea and i should keep it just zoas and some sps? how about other shrooms? like discoma and the rhodactis?

idk about SPS in a 5.5 gallon you dont have enough light i think

 

[fishes2889]

Other shrooms like the ones you mentioned are fine. Keep in mind you can keep a little ric garden separate from any other corals...

i didn't mean sps i meant lps haha i wouldn't keep sps in it
