New coral and unnoticed one next to each other

[aznbob]

I got this new xenia but also something that looks like a frog spawn coral. They are right next to one another. I was wondering if this is a problem.

I'm not seeing the other one?

if it really is a frogspawn it will have sweeper tenticals that will sting the xenia.. you will be able to see if that becomes a problem (the xenia should try to retreat from the frog if that happens or it will have a dead spot by it)..
I think I see what your talking about.. it looks like it could be a frogspawn or maybe another LPS.. you might want to try to move it before there becomes a problem..
frogspawn are recomended to have 6 inches of space away from other coarls (other then the hammer that can live with it, its related)

Any suggestion on how to move it?

I wouldn't bother, it's not a frogspawn. It's Anemonia cf. Majano. Pest anemone that can quickly become a nuisance.

My understanding is that those anemone can sting near by corals. Should I kill it now?

Just be sure you put something inbetween the anemonia and the Xeniid as a barrier before you use the product.
