    Are these two corals nice to each other? Will they sting each other if I put them near each other?

    They're not nice to most things near them. My torch just stung the crap out of some xenia I thought I had far enough away. They're in the same family, and may not sting each other, then again they might - I'd keep them separated to be safe. My torch and frogspawn are on opposite ends of the tank, and now, nowhere near anything else :) Those sweepers are something else.

    Hammers frogspawn, and torch are all euphyllia, and you can have them all touching each other if you want. Now any of those touching another coral would probably be fatal for the other coral. these all have nasty stings compared to many other corals.

    100% right, you can have them right next to each other with no problems. Their stings won't affect each other, however, they can easily sting and hurt other corals nearby.

    Are the "sweeper" tentacles the same as the ones you see during the day? I've got a frog spawn that there's no way it's normal day time tentacles could reach one of my other corals, yet one day I came in and it looked stung....
