corals touching

[colourmop]

just wondering, will favia coral's stinger tentacle mess up zoas? the favia always have some 3-4 inch long sting tentacles out, sometimes touching my zoas.
also, will LTA anemone sting/eat blasto? my LTA could extend out very far and may able to touch my new blasto, will the anemone try to kill it?
thanks very much

kk thanks, I guess I will move my favia up a little to avoid the mess.
will my favia be ok if I place it 5inch away from the water surface with a 150W 20k MH light hang 1foot above the water?
thanks

will depend on where u had it b4. if ur moving it from the bottom all the way to top, u might stress it out. u can try to slowly move it up over 2-3 weeks.
