Torch Coral question (everyone who has one)

[lil.guppy]

There is a spot in my tank where I want to put my torch coral frag. Problem is, xenia is going to start growing near it. Will the torch kill the xenia or will the xenia just avoid it?
What about zoos?

the xenia will avoid the torch....i know cuz thats wats my xenia is doing thats near my hammer....hard to kill xenia...i'd be happy if the hammer kill my xenia..

The torch tentacles should keep other coral from growing too close to it. IMO just pick out the xenia if is start crowding something.. or what I like to do is put a small piece of rubble on/next to it and let the xenia grow up on it... then I take it out and put it in my frag tank (or you could give it to someone).
