I'm a relatively new reefer (3 months in) and saw a condy nem at my LFS that I really wanted so regrettably without much thought I bought it... it's a very large one and as you can see in the picture attached and it's taken up residence under a cave rock (been there for a week).

I just recently read a bunch of threads on how these will move around a lot and can sting and kill corals etc.

My tank is 130gal

Question time:
How likely will it sting/kill other corals?
Can I still keep this nem successfully with the other corals - ie. can I get it to a point where it just finds a spot it likes and doesn't move so I can then place other corals away from it?

Yes and No
Some will stay in one spot for a long time. Others move when you do not want them to move.

Mine has moved in on my BTA and a candycane, but didn't stay long and left no permanent damage. That said, it did go nuclear once when I added H2O2 to combat GHA and released toxins into the tank that killed a few corals and badly stunted most of the rest for a few weeks. So be careful with that. I don't use H2O2 any more for that reason.
