Rose anenome sting

[Jwilliams10]

All,
I woke up this morning and my rose anenome has moved next to my blue tort SPS. Should i be worried about a potential sting? Thanks

Yes, they pack a wallop. Move one or the other, it's hard to keep anemones with other corals for this reason.

I tried to move the anenome but he is footed on the some piece of rock the blue tort tip is on. How long does it take for the tort to show signs of a sting? He looks good with full PE.

Maybe he wont sting it, i have a rose with my corals and it doesnt do anything, they are the least stinging anemones or so ive heard.

He will sting it- maybe not right away, but sooner or later he will likely kill it. If the anemone cant be moved anymore, then you might want to relocate the Acro. Roses are one of the most coral 'safe' anemones, but are still a threat.

You'll know when your Acro turns white starting at the site of the sting.. Anything that my anemone touched got stung, no damage to a frogspawn but it killed an Acro frag.

Those get pretty big.
It's going to be tough to keep other stuff w/out stinging in a 29g.
