Coral Placement Problem

[ChiTownRomeo]

I placed my torch coral above my Frogspawn coral. Will this be a problem? The frogspawn doesnt look so happy....

They are pretty close!

I wouldn't have them so close. Both have long sweeper tentacles.

+1 keep different species of LPS a good amount apart. Also take growth and future branching into consideration.

Grrr I'll have to move them then. They are epoxied in the hole so I have some work to do...

If the epoxy/rock is too hard to snap, a saw or chisel will work wonders.

 

[ChiTownRomeo]

how would I get it off the coral stem though? Bone Cutters?

 

[AquaRick]

You can just keep it there. After you cut through it, the epoxy should come off with your fingers. You can use bone cutters if you want to remove it.

Also I believe both the frogspawn and torch like to be at the bottom of the tank!

They both are Euphilyas they won't or shouldn't sting each other.

Depends on the lights used. They can be light acclimated to be placed anywhere in the tank providing the lights don't burn them out before they get to the top etc.

+1 cause the torch was pink and I put them under 3watt Leds and it turned snow white. I fed it Brine and Mysis and it slowly colored back up. Same goes for the Frogspawn. It turned transparent and wouldnt open fully, then after feeding and adding calcium it looked great.

+1. They are fine. Hammers are also Euphilyas. My hammer and frogspawn are almost touching with no problems.
