My Condy decided after 5 months in one spot that he wanted to move - and his tentacles are now sweeping into my Monti Cap and touching it from time to time. Should I be concerned about this? Will the 'nem take out the coral?

Yes, the Anemone can sting and kill off part or the whole coral. The best thing to do if you can is move the rock the coral is on. If the anemone has found a spot it likes it will stay there.

crap - the coral is attaching nicely to the rock though :( I only put it where it is because the stupid anemone had been happy where it was for months!

Thanks for the bad news I'll go adjust :(

i'd move the coral ASAP. that's one reason i will never get an anemone. they have a high probability of moving

I would be moving the condy or the coral, they dont play together very well.
