LTA a danger to my corals?

I've had this long tentacle anenome for months now and it's been planted in the sand since i've got it. But I came home tonight(around 3am) and saw that my LTA was planted up on the rocks. It was right over my open brain coral, and right next to a finger leather and some green star polyps. Will this anenome sting anything it comes in contact with? Or will the corals try to sting the anenome?

The only corals I have in my 75g are...
2 finger leathers
open brain
small colony of yellow polyps
small colony of zoas
green star polyps
 
They might end up stinging each other, but I'd think the anemone would do more damage to the corals...it might not be a bad idea to move the corals.
 
well I just woke up and it moved a couple of inches over touching my finger leather. I cant really tell if the leather is hurt or not, it is droopy but thats how it is in the morning. I love anenomes, but I dont want to have to worry about this. I think I might sell it. I hope my clownfish dont mind. Here's some pics...

Your anemone looks pretty healthy...I'd think it would be easier to just move your corals around if the anemone gets too close...
 
That is a nice/healthy looking nem.
Yes, it will stress other corals if it touches them.
But once your nem finds a spot where it's happy w/ light/flow it shouldn't move so much, it may just shift a little.
Right now your tank looks easy to move stuff as needed, but that nem will grow(My LTA is about 20") and then it becomes a little more difficult to keep that buffer zone between them and your corals.
 
i would give that thing the whole left side of the tank and put a 25010k on top of it they will stretch to get the light
