Frogspawn/Hammer corals next to a bulb anemones

[benf]

Should i be concerned if a bulb anemones has decided to place itself near hammer corals and frogspawn?

I've had them next to leathers(not a huge deal), zoos(again not horrible), mushrooms(BIG DEAL!!!!! They burn shrooms fast), but never had them near my euphyllia. Watch it for a day and if bad stuff happens, move the euphyllias or try to coax the anem away.

my thoughts too...just cking if anyone had 1st hand on it...but wait and see for a day or 2 is what i believe it will come too.

I had my anemones encroach on a large (8+" skeleton) hammer. The anemones and hammer lived in moderate peace for several years. I say "moderate peace" because the hammer would have nematocyst-filled bulb-tipped sweepers on the side that faced the closest anemone. Then, within a few days and without any warning signs I noted, the hammer retracted, slimed up and died.

So, for what it's worth, I don't recommend anemones and euphyllia species corals as roommates.

I've had a large frogspawn keep 2 rbtas at bay for over a year. I just recently noticed this month that I lost a head closest to the anemone. The anemone wants to expand but so far the frogspawn has been keeping it at bay but I was sad to see it lose a head.
