Can an anemone harm corals?

My condy has decided to go traveling after staying put for 4 months. I did a search and couldn't find an answer to this question: can he harm my colt or frogspawn corals? He's right in their faces.

Yes, anemone can and will hurt your corals. Actually any corals, because of stinging cells withing the tentacles.

Yes they can... I added a BTA and he liked the spot my 3 year old lobophyllia had. When I arrived home from work he had killed 1/2 of him. I moved the lobo, but it was downhill from there. I new the risks, but thought I could manage it.

Well, I don't know what to do. The colt coral is attached to a large rock. The frogspawn I moved a little bit. I shoved a big rock between the colt and the anemone, at least it helps a little to block arms touching each other alot.
