Please help: Fungia vs Scoly vs Wellso

[NVTE]

My fungia like to move around in my tank, and getting close to Indo Scoly and Aussi Scoly and Wellso (meat) coral. Can they touch each other or I have to move them away from each other???????

I didn't know that fungias can move

yes they do. It expand like balloon and move.

Fungia movement!

Fungia movement!

I would try to find a nice location on the sand and block it out of reach from all other corals with pieces of liverock!!!:artist::fish2::wavehand:

The fungia climbs on top of the zoa rock I put next to him. I need bigger rock.

I want to find out if he is okay with Scoly.

dont let them get within 3 inches IMO.

Thanks.
The fungia stop moving now. Which is 1" away from Indo Scoly. I think he doesn't like the spot that I placed him.
Will keep the close watch.

corals will try to ward off or kill any close neighbors and will extend their stingers"sweepers" in an attempt to accomplish this . i would keep them a few inches away from each other to be safe . also they will excrete toxins in an attempt to keep other corals away from themselves . in your reef tank there is always chemical war fare going on and sometimes you can even see corals withering as a result .if you see this simply moving them away from each other will help them and you will usually see immediate results one they recover from being moved which is very fast .

Don't let it get too close, it will kill the other corals, if can. The Wellsophyllia in particular, is vulnerable to being stung.
This is the biggest drawback of Fungia, they can move. And can be aggressive..

Sincerely,

pick it up and move it? its a fungia it does not have a foot???

 

[NVTE]

Cool. thanks guy. Look like the fungia will stay at his new spot now. I am going to move the scoly away from him to be sure.

If I am correct a meat coral will kill anything it touches.

I've had one sting a lobo which surprisingly didn't go well at all for the fungia, I figured it would be the other way around. Once it bounced back I ended up penning it into a corner with some rocks and it finally stayed still...

I put rock barriers that they cannot get over.

all three of those need to be kept far away from each other or someone's gonna get hurt.
