Can hairy mushroom sting flowerpot?

I found my large mushroom on top of my pink flower pot coral yesterday . It has been doing very well. See attached pics. Thanks! It’s not happy today

Yes, they will sting each other. Keep an eye on both of them now.

A flowerpot is a bit aggressive for a tester coral. These are not the easiest to maintain in a mature tank. Shrooms wil sting them and vice versa so give them space.

Depends on the severity of the sting. Based on the current picture I'd say there's a good chance. Just keep an eye on it for now. You may lose a few polyps but it certainly doesn't appear catastrophic.
