Sun coral and dendro question

Ar these considered 'stinging corals'? As in, when people say xx shouldn't be kept with stinging corals, would you consider sun corals, dendros, balanophyllia and similar corals to fall into this category?

Thanks,
Mark
 
They are "stinging" corals but their nematocysts are too weak to injure any fish. Rhizos are a completely different story. They can and will catch and eat anything that comes too close small enough for it to consume.
