Are they too close?

[FavaBean]

Do you ever see the long stinger tenticles from the favia brushing agianst the mushroom? The mushroom doesn't look like it is dammaged.

I have some candycane coral near a brain and I can definatly tell when it is to close. The polyps nearest the brain start to shrink and look distressed.

i just added the shrooms tuesday of this week. i have not noticed any changes in the corals. I guess i should move the favia just to be safe.

I wouldn't worry untill one or the other looks damaged. No damage, no worry. We all love to cram our tanks with pretty things!
