Coral Aggression?

[trsmith18]

Looking on some insight on coral aggression . I have a new torch airing soon (thanks TSA). Can I place it relatively close to my neon green toadstool leather?

I don't hear/read much on leather to torch physical aggression, even though there is alleged chemical aggression from the leather.

Just trying to figure out what I can place next to each other in my tank. Anyone have any guiding articles?

So yes the leather will emit toxins into your whole tank if irritated by another coral and your torch if close by (1” - 5”) will sting it causing it to emit those toxins.

thanks for the reply. Any corals that can go near/touch torch corals...other than other torch corals?

Nope, but I do have a large goniopora near 2 torches with occasional touching. So far they have played nice. You need to give corals space to grow.

Torch deliver some of the powerful stings and you want non-euphyllia at least 3-4" away from Torch.

Thanks. Thats what I thought, but you never hear things about soft coral aggression other than chemical so I figured they can get along, but apparently not.
