Is my shroom too close to my frogspawn?

[dpsa98]

Are these too close together or are they alright this close?

Your shroom will probably move if it doesn't like it.

it looks too close to me

By most accounts it is too close. Though frogspawn is not as bad sweeperwise as say - bubble coral, it has a tendency to grow rapidly and the extension during the day is significantly larger than the base would lead you to believe. I made a conscious decision of getting rid of my frogspawn because it was such a sprawler.

Just a note: I have a lot of discosomas, [neglecta, greenstripe, purples] that grow and spread like aiptasia in my tank, and they're always butting up against my corals. There's a huge purple that lies right under the tentacles of my hammer, a couple that actually riffle themselves up to rest against the base of my digitata, or within an ace of frogspawn and fox. They seem to position themselves pretty rapidly if leaned upon. We were having a discussion on aggression in the sps forum that produced the following information: pocillopora and stylophora are mild customers; valida and several other sps are hotter; and among lps, watch out for torch and galaxia, and, I'm told bubble, though nothing in my tank seems to respect it much. It got a tentacle onto my poci yesterday [I'm adjusting that] with no damage. So it's hard to say---but because mushrooms can move themselves, I've given up trying to avoid them, and I haven't detectably lost one yet. The discosomas live high under mh, down in the dark, on the underside of rocks, and in holes---they get rocks accidentally parked on them, and get blown by high current and ignored by low, and they still thrive. If I were dealing with rhodactis or ricordia, I'd be a bit more careful, as I think they're both 'hotter' and perhaps less mobile.

Thank You I'm thinking about taking out one of the larger rocks in my tank to make more room for the corals and shrooms. I just seem to have a hard time mounting corals to other LR in my tank I tried the Gel glue but it does not work for me for some reason other wise I would mount my frogspawn up on a rock somewhere.

ok, stupid noob question: Won't the frogspawn kill the shrooms if they get too close? So, in effect, won't that work as population control if you're getting too many shrooms growing?

I 2nd that:smokin:

i always had a problem where shrooms and rics touching. rics would appear to be dead at the site where the shroom touches it at. had to move the two apart. lost a few like that.

Similar question, how about R. Yuma and Fl. Ric together really close, touching at some point, is that going to cause trouble??
