euphyllia colonies? do they sting..

[clown jr]

I have seen in various books and some other tanks different species and pieces of euphyllia corals. There have been frogspawn right next to hammer coral and I was wondering if they sting eachother or if it would eventually cause death. Anybody know?
When the tenticles mix it creates a beautiful display and they look to enjoy it.

I don't have a concrete answer for you, but I will throw in my limited experience. I have 2 frogspawn corals right next to each other. One is brown and the other is green. They don't bother each other at all, but they do sting other corals around them. Never tried letting my frogs touch my hammer though. My guess is that they wouldn't bother each other, but that's just an guess.

thanks. my lfs has a great metallic green frogspawn and a really nice looking hammer. its whitish and purle, never seen one like it before. they're both small and relatively inexpensive. ill try to post pics if i get them.
