The pic on my face after a rock flower walks over my wilso....






Priceless.
I’ve never had one die on me. I had. 3” shrink up once after a salinity spike and it got about 1/2” and I thought he was a goner. Of course a rainbow lol but he came back to normal the next day and now he’s one of the robust ones. Nothing phases him.

I’m concerned with them walking or sending a sweeper out to my other corals. I’ve heard rock flowers are ones where you can stress less.

Is this true?

Rock flowers can sting other corals, but I rarely see it happen. I have close to 20 in my tank and the only thing that really gets bothered is the Lepto (by direct touch). I have a few RFA's that just walked right into a patch of zoa's and parked themselves there, no harm done. Most of mine don't move much but I have a couple wanderers.
I swear that they can send signals to each other though. If one gets stressed they will all react. Sometimes they will rearrange themselves, but a bunch throughout the tank will do it on the same night, and the next morning I'll be like "What happened?"
