Hammers and Frogspawns - Touching

[RaymondL]

LFS says to me that some frogspawns might not like to touch certain hammers, vice versa - I'm not sure if this is true - why only some that might have issues.

Just wanted to confirm that with 100% certainty that Frogspawns can touch one another, and touch hammers, and vice versa.

LFS says that if I see any polyp floating in the water it's likely the coral got stung by another.....something doesn't sound too correct here.

Fine. Just torches and frogs/hammers don’t play nice.

Frogspawn’s and Hammers can touch, same with Octospawn.

Polyps in the water is Polyp Bailout which is caused for a multitude of reasons - the coral basically wants to have the best chance of survival and so moves elsewhere with better conditions to settle down. They don’t generally rebuild their skeleton when they bailout IME.

my frogspawn is evil, it killed a few corals, and also killed a few hammer heads when they were touching, I had to move my hammer away. I don't put anything near my frogspawn.

No problems here.

Usually frog spawn, hammer, octospawn will live together fine. I am sure someone somewhere found some that wont. A fish swimming to aggressively past a hammer or fs can damage the polyps and break pieces off (had it happen). I am sure its possible enough stinging can also do the same. Complete polyp bail out is usually something else but could be attributed to coral warfare. In the past I had a 120 with mostly euphylia and at some point everything was touching with no issues. Torches can be the exception even amongst themselves. I am guessing location they are from may have something to do with it. My past 120 had pretty standard euphylia mostly green, purple and brown/gold the crazy colors where almost unheard of and if you had one you probably paid $100s for a single polyp (think grail and banana multi head piece prices today or more for a dragon soul or even hulk ). I like to test touch euphylia to each other and see if they stick, if they stick to each other or immediately retract its a good sign that one is more aggressive and may damage the other.

Thanks for this. The touch test is indeed a good gauge.

Picture is worth a thousand words! Thanks
