Yes they can sting each other and sometimes they won’t sting each other .

I've got one isolated that throws out 1-2 inch feeding tentacles at night. My guess is, if it could touch another coral, it would sting it.

I would not recommend it unless you are sure they are the same type of favia. They can and will go to war overnight

Well poo. Dont think they are. One has big full heads other is more skeleton like if you catch my drift.

Soon as they are unbagged ill snap some pics maybe you can shed some light if they were even correctly id in the auction. I know one of the frags is am a enchinata an it shall be placed on the sandbed all by its lonesome.

These are the favia in question. Any id on the names of them would be awesome too. Colors arent done justice due to usimg an older cell phone with heavy blue lighting.

Please forgive my diatoms. I just switched salts and to a new sump may have something to do with it.

Here are some better colored pics from the stores auction page. Might help with an id.
