can corals sting/kill anemones?

[MoshJosh]

So just upgraded my tank and one of my RFA has died. This is the only loss (so far, fingers crossed) and I am not sure what happened too it. Sorry I don't know my parameters ATM, so obviously that could have something to do with it if they are all F'd up. But since everything else is fine (again fingers crossed) I was wondering if it could have gotten stung when I moved everything into a temporary tote. . . but the only thing that could have stung it was coral. . . can corals kill nems?

Depends on the coral. Some LPS have nasty stings and can kill just about anything that can't move away in time.

I would say in general, anemones have much more potential to kill the LPS than the other way around.

Rock flowers aren't particularly strong stingers, though, and have very little reach. Something like an acan echinata of any decent size could decimate one easily.
