Will It Sting??

[Xler8n]

I have a colony of green hairy mushrooms on a rock next to a 6 headed dragon soul favia. If the mushroom touches the favia will it sting it badly? Should i move it away??

As long as they are an inch or two apart then they should be just fine.

If the mushroom is touching the dragon soul favia will it sting it or will it be ok??

The mushrooms will most likely bother the favia if they touch it.

Not sure. my hairy mushs don't sting much, but they just touch zoas and other mushs

Mine have stung other corals. I wouldnt let them touch. Most corals of different species will sting each other.

I agree. It's best to keep all corals out of stinging distance. Fortunately mushrooms don't have long sweeper tentacles like some corals so they can be placed fairly close to your other coral. Your Favia will probably have some fairly long tentacles that only come out at night and it might sting the mushroom as well.

Mushrooms will sting sps. Not sure about Favia. I wouldn't chance it.

My green hairy mushrooms divide and move like crazy. If you have them a couple inches away today they might be on top of it in a couple months.
