Frogspawn heads touching...

[Reef_World]

I had to remove a fish earlier today from my tank, while doing so I relocated some rocks and accidently knocked my frogspawn coral off the rock. When I glued it onto a new lication I noticed that the back side of the coral is touching the rock. My question is, will it be fine or will the heads touching the rock die?? Thanks!!

Should be fine, mine lean against rocks when they open up and are just fine.

But since they are touching the rock, my guess is they wont open fully? Is it worth relocating or I am just going to stress the coral out

It's up to you but I think it will open up fully, think of it like a water balloon when you squeeze it it moves the water to another area and expands more there.

It's fine if they touch the rock, it will take effect similar to that of Christmas trees that are "more fluffy" in the front and won't be as inflated where it is near the rock. Just be careful of high flow and sharp rock as it can tear.
