Toxic Leather Corals

i always figured the yellow polyps were like zoa's - i see zoa's in sps tanks right next to acros' and everything seems okay, i assumed this principle would be true w/ my eagle eyes and yellow polyps but i havent had a chance to have any corals sting each other to see what works and what doesnt

 

This is the type of polyp I am referring to.

Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Colony Polyp, Yellow

They might not kill neighboring corals as quickly as some LPS can, but they will out compete a slower growing acropora for space.

 

yep those are the ones! alright well tomorrow i'll take care of this, i'll keep the kenya tree and maybe the xenia but the gsp, yellow polyps, devils hand, and mushroom are gone

either that or i can keep the mushroom in the fuge, i just dont want the xenia or kenya tree if i keep them to be harmful later down the road

thanks coralline

 

Mushrooms are fine.

Xenia and kenya tree usually do not take off under the same water conditions you keep sps. That is why I do not have a problem, they are very slow growers in my tank.

NP and good luck.
