Frogspawn and rockflower anemone

[iamahab]

I’m thinking about placing my frogspanw next to my rockflower will either one sting the other? Here’s the frogspawn, I’ve had it for almost two years and it’s grown a few more heads. I recently rearranged my tank and it’s not as full as it was before said move. I want to move it closer to where I had it before

They should not
While frogspawn is capable, their not as aggressive as torch coral
Spacing 2 or more inches apart will greatly reduce that risk

I have a large frogspawn colony above several RFAs for awhile now in my tank. The RFAs stay put as expected along the rock bottom and sand and don't seem to move up to the frogspawn. However I was out of town this weekend and came back to my frogspawn colony laying head down on top of the RFAs. I was out for 48 hours so not sure how long they stayed like this, but the frog spawn did not lose any heads (yet) and look fine after I remounted. The RFAs how are still shriveled up 12 hours after fixing the collapse. Will report back to see who won the battle, but appears frogspawn came out undamaged at the moment. Odd. I would have thought the opposite that I would surely lose most of the frogspawn colony.

BTAs are said to often split after stressful events. I wonder if this applies to RFAs since I've never seen any of mine split.

Yes, can confirm frogspawn will effect rfa. Had 2 rfa next to one get smaller and smaller until they detached and moved. Are now the largest rfa i've seen, maybe 3-4". Maybe try the tube trick to get the rfa to detach so you can move them 1st.

Rfa in the middle back, 2" from frogspawn

Rfa both moved asfaraway as possible

Frogspawn stung everything in 10g, got rid of it now.

Here's what I mean to my post. That frog colony dropped face down into that big red RFA.

Reporting back the next day and no visible damage to either. This is extremely surprising as we've all read about potential sting of the RFA. Maybe I just got really lucky and came home right when it fell over. I just can't imagine either being tough enough to sustain any extended contact. ... or are they?
