    I have a frogspawn and a gsp that are set a good distance away from each other in the tank. I was thinking of adding a xenia, candy cane and some zoas in the near future. Will my frogspawn sting any of these?

    It is a fairly aggressive coral and will sting if they are close enough. I have been told a min of a finger length away!

    yeah just keep them far enough away so they can not touch.
    other euphillia can be placed touching(torch hammer frogspawn)
    frogspawn is also least aggressive of the euphillia, never seen mine send out the sweepers. zenia i would give more distance from the euphillia due to the fact that they can grow rapidly and i think(not positive) that they are quite toxic. i have all the corals you want in my tank with no problems.

    I've got a frogspawn in my tank right close to some mushrooms, which for some reason aren't bothered by it at all. But, the xenia definitely is sensitive to being touched by the frogspawn. I'd agree with the previous posts - a finger length apart. Frogspawn increase dramatically in size when they are open compared to closed. Take that into account.
