[marble]

Hi Bro/Sis

Can I check with d experts out there if there is any Problem if I put my Hammer & Torch together side by side?

Will they sting each other ah?

Tks for the advice.

Between the 2, I would think that the hammer will sting the torch. So it is not recommended to place these 2 corals side by side. Just keep them out of each other's tentacles.

Tks a lot. Just as I tot! Hee Hee.

This 2 corals will not sting each other. I kept both of them together before. Infact, I epoxy them together. Hehehe

read from somewhere hat corals of the same genus / family can be placed together...

if i m not wrong...torch, octo & hammer r from same genus...

my torch and octo r touching each other...but i kinda recalled there was this once when another of my torch "burned" one of my octo heads...

Hrmz, my bubble and frogspawn when fully expanded gets very close to each other...till now no problems yet. Fisheatme, ur octo got burned before? What were the symptons?

[fisheatme]

the head of the coral that got stung will close up and not open...afterwhich it will melt away the next day...

i have hammer, torch and frogspawn all living next to each other n touching - no problems. i was told that the are all from the same family and can co habitate. So far, none have hurt the others

i dun tink it will be a prob placing torch and hammer together...

i have a green bubble blooming side by side to my hammer....praying hard that the hammer dosent sting it..

bubble coral will sting all other corals. that include hammer, octo/frogspawn, torch etc. they are most aggressive among the lps.

some torch coral can get along well with hammer and octo/frogspawn. some spice are more aggressive. although they are the same family. i had two different colour torch (green and brown). and the brown will sting the green (weaker). this is also interesting to see my brown torch sting my hammer too. but placing hammer with octo/frogspawn have no problem

Hrmz, mt bubble and frogspawn gets quite close when both are fully extended...havent had any stinging accidents thus far....*touch wood*

[fisheatme]

maybe u should observe the corals when all the lights go off? heard their stinging tentacles usually come out in the night...

yah i kinda agree wif loster...cos it happened to me b4...it is not a guarantee that every species of these 3 corals can be mixed and not have any damages...

some of mine mixed and do well...while a certain experience turned out bad...

Oh, they normally shrink after lights out....still got quite a distance apart....

i would agree with just about every one above. they can make really neat feilds of different shapes and colors when put next to each other.
