Torch stinging torch

[DonJuanAntwon]

I have a pink tip torch that I’ve had for awhile with no problems. I got a black light torch online (he was way bigger than I thought he’d be) and he’s definitely stinging everything in his way. I had to move all my hammers over and I moved my pink tip torch over a little. The pink tip is still closed up a little bit should I move him farther away? Or see how it goes over the next day? I didn’t think the torches being too close would be a problem but it seems the pink tip is being affected. Is is that they’re two different torches that there’s a fight between them?

This strikes me as unusual, though I'm not a torch expert. @MERKEY
Only thing I could think of is one is indo and the other aussie? But from my knowledge torches of the same species should be fine together. Is there possibly livestock irritating it?

Yea I had torches sting each other but it’s very rare. One was growing aggressive and the other was just hangin out. You could clearly see the tentacle attached to the other torch, then that other torch would recede. I never lost coral from the stinging but I’ve heard from others that the sting could be fatal for some coral.

I have two clownfish, a shark nose goby, and a yasha goby. I haven’t noticed any fish even going near them.

Should I keep moving them farther apart? You can see the glue mark where the pink tip was before.

If you think it's the torch, give it a bit more space. They don't like to be moved though so give it a bit to get used to the new flow

Agree with the above about moving the torch and watching for a few days.

Not all torches get along
