Can Rock Anemones Sting Corals?

[sen5241b]

From the pics I've seen seems that they cannot sting each other but what about corals? Do they have sweeper tentacles?

They can sting corals.  They do not have sweepers like corals. but there tentacles can stretch.

They don't have sweeper tentacles.

 

Corals that grow to closely can be stung just as any other anemone. However, IME their sting isn't that potent. I had two that were touching several corals with no negative effects.

What kind of corals touched without effects...would be good to know

[GOSKN5]

I had cloves, zoas, mushrooms, gorgonian, and leather touching at some point.. so no experience with SPS or LPS touching

Cool, thanks for posting up that list

Can't speak on rock nems, but I have rbtas at home and maxi minis at work. Heliopora is a great coral to put next to any anemone. Doesn't get stung and isn't as affected from the shade of a bubble tip. I've had certain zoas/palys be fine, and others completely decimated from anemone stings.
