I really want to put my pink hammer in a certain place, but there are some zoanthids near by. Will the hammer sting the zoanthids and cause damage?
Thanks in advance.

How far are they going to be?
Couple of inches (I have the branching hammers), or place hammer down flow, so the stinging tentacles will be move by the flow away.
brandon429 used the transparent plastic from Barbie packaging to confine or stinging corals, or their potential victims. It's invisible in the water (if the memory serves right).

They will be pretty close, about three inches away. It dosen't have long sweepers, yet. It seems like I'm always changing the flow somehow, whether intentionally or unintentionally. So, it must be out of reach. Good idea on the plastic, but I wonder how it's kept in place? I'm thinking that I will have to move the zoanthids. I need a bigger tank! :fish2:
Brandon gives the full details with the photo here , 1/3 from the bottom of the page. Basically, super glue.
Bigger tank: it's not zoantids, but the hammers and frogspawn are taking too much of space - I placed them in 6g tank, and later has to move somewhere else.
Solutions for zoantid collection placement: Ignasi Torralba 16g tank and same zoantids in another his tank . Trying to something like that in my tank
Here is how flow influences hammer's and frogspawn's tentacles:
6g cube, flow right to the left, now they have nobody to hurt (at the left of them):
Before that, the hammer was at the right, with the best coral in the center - right on the way of tentacles.
Sweeping tentacle (mine are branching - both hammers and frogspawn):
The good thing is, that they can be placed together - good look and no harm to each other:
