    The most "reach" I have ever seen spying on mine at night is like 3/4" and that is during feeding. I have never seen LPS style 6" sweepers. So what I am hearing is that as long as the hydno can't reach it won't burn the other corals?

    Yup...if they can't reach it, they can't hurt it. However, remember that these guys have been around a looooong time and are adaptable to their environment. Just because it is 3/4" right now doesn't mean that 3 months from now it will still be that length. If they sense a threat (i.e. shading, stings from other LPS, etc.) to their portion of the reef, they will get more aggressive.
