    I was looking at some favia brain corals and saw they were agressive.
    I was wondering if that meant just aggressive as in chemical warfare or if they are small fish, snails, crabs, etc.
    thanks

    I have had a very large favia for a long time... they do not eat fish, however if they come into contact with other corals the favia will most likely win

    They are aggressive as in sending out sweeper tentacles which could harm any coral that's in reach of its tentacles.

    You will be fine. Often they will send out their sweepers at night.
