    Posted in asap because this is happening right now in my tank. I am very new to corals and have a colony of zoa's and my anemone's tentacles are brushing all up in them. Can they be damaged from its sting??

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    If the zoanthids are closed up then I would move them. I have had anemones brush up against corals without issue, and I have had them bother other corals mostly sps.

    I would agree, if they are closed up, you'll need to move them. I can't keep anything near my RBTA.....
