Is my Bubble tip too close to my corals?

[Txcowboy22]

I just got this and I can move my other coral if you think it will be a problem in the future when they all get bigger. Do you think I should move my xenia or leather frags? Even if they grow out and touch will they be affected very much? I heard that bubbles don't really sting coral that much, I just don't want to create a problem....

Thanks

BTAs can sting the devil out of corals. I have had to remove my RBTAs because they damaged and killed so many corals...including half of a beautiful, bright green anchor, a large porites rock, miscellaneous candy canes, digitata, elkhorn, etc.

However, I wouldn't worry about the Xenia and I personally haven't seen a problem with leathers. The anemone is liable to get up and move anyway, so don't worry about separating for full-grown size.

Leathers can release toxins. You may want to move it. Are you running carbon?
