ok while acclimating the hammer some white stringy stuff started coming from the heads i have seen this stuff coming from my mushrooms at certain times mainly at night one of the heads lost a few tenticals during transit from store to the house but i dont know which i saw a small bb size ball of tentical at the bottom of bag is this going to affect it much.... this coral looked extremely healthy in the store....

both are Euphyllia corals and can touch if you want them to. torch corals as well.

They need plenty of room between them and other corals. They have sweepers that come out and can sting other corals. LA says

"During the evenings, its sweeper tentacles can extend up to six inches beyond its base into the reef aquarium surroundings. It will sting other neighboring corals in the reef aquarium, therefore, it is best to leave plenty of room between itself and other types of corals."
