Can RBTA harm Xenia?

[walmart]

My Anemone moved right in the middle of all of my Xenia, and I am wandering if it will harm it and is worth moving. Because it does look kind of cool.

oh yea, it will sting the crap out of the xenia. Probably kill the stalks it is sitting on top of, but you can't really do much, moving your anemone is going to hurt it. I would leave it, a little dead xenia is harmless (with a protein skimmer and carbon running), and certainly better than an injured anemone.

I thought some soft corals were impervious to stings of an anemone, but I guess Xenia is not one of them.

I haven't heard of that except in mushrooms and rics, because they are technically anemones too.

well I guess I just got to point a powerhead to him then.

I'm that sure if that's true. My RBTA is stinging the crap out of my yuma! I don't think the Yuma is going to last if I don't move it.

My rbta didn't bother my xenia, wished it would had.

Perhaps the strength of diff btas is, well, not always equal.?!

My zenia showed signs of stress at first, but then seemed to overcome it.
Zenia is pretty tough IMO
