Can a Kenya and toadstool touch?

[Swamp Donkey]

My Kenya and my toadstool have gotten so big that they are now touching. Is it ok to leave them by each other?

If they aren't showing any signs of discomfort, then I'd leave 'em alone.

The toadstool doesn't let out it's tenticles/feelers (what ever they are called) in the 1/4" area where they are touching, but that is it. The Kenya opens completly up.

Yeah, then it's buggin' the toadstool. I'd move them. Another reason for moving them is that they are probably having some chemical warfare going on there, and that can't be good for your other corals in the tank. Especially bad for any SPS that you have in there.

Be sure you are running fresh carbon or even better, I use Purigen--doesn't remove any essencial elements, like carbon can.

I am running carbon and everything looks outstanding it's just that stupid kenya won't stop growing...lol

Do you just put purigen in a bag and toss it in the sump?

The Purigen I get, comes in a bag--I put it between 2 baffles. I want to get that carbon-thingy that Rod makes for it. I need a pic or drawing for it though.

Hey Drew,

I run Purigen in my cube, middle chamber, it's like phosban, the more flow that hits it the better job it does.

I swear by the stuff.

Sweet! Thanks. Who near us sells it or am I better off getting it online?

I always get mine from Dr. Foster and Smith, I might have another laying around at home, if so I'll give it to you (I bought a lot of them before realizing they can be recharged and used over and over). I'll let you know.

Really should look into Rod's carbon-thingy. Forces water thru a tube that has the product in it.

I'll contact Rod. Thanks Puffer!
Colin, I'll PM you about it.
