    I recently moved some of my cabbage coral right next to a rhodactis mushroom and I noticed today that the way the shroom is positioned it might be pulling away from the cabbage coral. Is it my imagination or is the cabbage coral irritating the shroom?

    Thanks!

    It is possible. Leather corals use chemical warfare to eak out the space they need.

    Darn. Does that mean that cabbage coral can't be located near ANY other kinds of corals?

    You need to give it room to grow and be happy. Try not to put anything close (6 inches) down flow of it. Add carbon to remove the toxin.
