Anemone sting coral??

[brat213]

My condy's seem to keep moving I've moved my toadstool leather away from him, but wonder if it is necessary. Will anemones harm corals?
THanks! :?

Think of it as a 1 anenome wrecking ball. Anything living that it touches it will sting. Most often the result of the sting is death of tissue.

It sounds like your condy is searching for a spot in the tank it likes. It might be doing this becaues of flow rate being to high or low, light intensity is to low, water temp, just to name a few.

Yes the anenome packs a powerful sting, Killing and hurting corals along the way. Most anenome will travel because it is unhappy, or there has been a change in it's surroundings. Usually if tank remains stable with very little change they will settle in a happy spot remain for long periods.
My first anenome was a condy. It remain in the same place for a year before I got rid of it.[ Got way to big to quick in my 55 gal] I have a BTA as well she has remained in the same rock for over two years now and has split twice. HTH

Thanks for the replies. I'm gglad I moved my coral then. The condy doesn't move far. He stays on 1 rock but moves around on it. I hope he stays on that big rock and doesn't go after my corals. Since I moved the toadstool it Hasn't moved anymore, maybe it was just adjusting to the right spot on the rock.
Thanks again!
