    Several questions
    Can an anenome sting coral?

    I hope the picture made it. (if not it shows an anenome that decided to sit on my green brain coral

    2). Can an aggressive coral sting anenome?

    3). I was reading on frogspawn and it says can sting coral up 2 6 inches away. Can u see those tentacles or are the super small.

    Thanks

    1) Yes and 99.9% of the time the anemone wins and your coral dies

    2) Seldom will a coral win the battle, maybe a galaxia could beat an anemone?

    3) You can see the frogspawn tentacles if you are there when they are out. The extension you usually see on a frogspawn is not as much as they can. Usually mine extends about and inch or so, but when it really stretches it can get about 4-5" out.

    that coral isn't happy you shouldn't see the skeleton of the brain he is really not happy move the anemone and put his foot in a small piece of pvc tube so that it cant move and sting your coral.

    The anenome has already moved along to a different spot where he looks happy.

    But what can I do about the coral. I don't think it looks any different then it did before the anenome sat on him

    Ph, salinity, ca, phos, nitrate, and kh are all good. ? Placement ? Light? Pests?

  5. There is nothing to be done, really. You will find that as you go along in the hobby things will go to war with one another from time to time. There are always winners and losers and all you can do is educate yourself on the compatibility of each animal that you add to your tank.
