Sarcophyton Coral Aggression

[A Toadstool Leather]

I know that these corals defend themselves with allelopathy, but has anyone else had issues with their toadstool leather leaning over and stinging nearby corals? Mine appears to be doing this right now to my poor sinularia. At this point I will just move it, but I am curious if anyone else has seen this before.

To be honest I think by toadstool was leaning inwards towards the light rather than attacking a coral. However the polyps did irritate my sinularua quite a bit. What does your japanese leather look like?

The polyps are so much larger on that coral. What a nice leather coral you have there regardless. Where did you get it from?

You must need to give it a great deal distance then. I find if you put amything too close to one the polyps irritate whatever is near

My bird's nest is an inch from it has yet to bother it.
