noob question

[fuz_munky]

do you have to worry about sweeper tentacles with sps corals?

No, they don't really have long sweepers like most LPS do, but you still don't want them to touch each other.

For the most part the answer would be no, just make sure to give your SPS adequate spacing to grow. One sps that does definitely pack a very powerful sting and has very long sweepers is the hydnopora. Check out this shot:

Pavona and Pachyseris would be two more that can produce sweepers. Even with out the sweepers, most will still need space to grow, not all SPS will tolerate stings from close neighbors. I have some Monti's that will sting some Acros into submission, and some Acros that will kill my Monti's and so on. It is kind of wait and see if anyone is being irritated by a neighbor that maybe too close. Good luck.
Awesome shot of the sweepers Myzislow, nice tank too.
