    How safe are the Frogspawn and Hammer Coral towards other fish? Once my new lights are in I would like to get these or something similar for my tank. Is there a safer alternative?

    They are safe, only problem you might have is with a nano fish or a sick fish that sits on them, other than that you should be more thank ok

    they will not harm any fish at all. they will only sting other corals close enough for them to reach. fwiw, the two can touch each other without any issues...

    +1 yeah they will sting other corals but not each other. Mine haven't bothered my fish at all. Some people's clowns even host frogspawns.

    I had some torch that never caused any problems, and I have all sorts of nano gobies in the tank. I've heard they have a nasty sting though, so keep them clear of other corals, especially SPS.
