    Soft corals are not as susceptible to stings as would be stonies. Mucus coating, I feel has something to do with it!

    Carpets have the most potent sting out of all the anemones so care must be addressed whan housing these with corals!
    They grow large and are notorious for moving around a tank and stinging corals in their wake!
