andy Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I read that Euphyllia sp. are relatively aggressive -- does that agression include members of it's own species? For example, can I put two separate Torch corals right up beside each other? How about a Frogspawn and a Hammer? Do color morphs behave differently? I assume not, but you know what they say about assuming (whistle) Andy, Euphyllia aficionado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 No they will not bother each other, I had a frogspawn & hammer right next to each other with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rude944 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 There are some instances where that is not true, however. I have lost frogspawn that was next to a torch colony, but the same frog was fine next to a branching hammer. Coincedentally, the hammer and frog were both branch colonies, which may have some commen nematocysts (sp? I mean stinging cells) or something and recognize each other.

andy Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 I guess I'll have to carefully try and see. I really like the look of pink tip and green tip morphs side by side. I think I'll only put like subspecies together though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Very nice! Exactly what I was talking about! How did the FS take to the Clown hosting in them? I've been wanting to pick up a couple of Clowns but have been putting it off until my tank is mature enough for a Rose or BTA. I've read that Clowns hosting in LPS can really tick off the coral, and I don't want them hurting my (prized) Torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 They have been hosting the frogspawn for almost 2 years now. I think august will be 2 years. I fragged both frogspawns at least 3 times in that timespan. They don't seem to mind it at all. My clowns are relatively timid and don't thrash around in the coral like some will. I can even move their hosts without them attacking me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Here's an older one, I'll get a new one for you tomorrow. Now that we've cooled off, the halides are back in the rotation so I can catch up on my photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spayne Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Lovely torch, Andy! I have often thought of adding one to the big tank. Stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rude944 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 That is the variety of Euphyllia that I would not suggest putting next to a frogspawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Understood. If and when I start neighboring up color morphs, I'll stay within subspecies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefboy Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Torches can touch torches but they cant touch frogspawns or hammers but frogspawn and hammers can touch wall type or branching dosnt matter have many diffrent morphs with no probs touching.
