Xenia Vs Yuma

[BlackwaterMerk]

Well as the title has I own a small xenia frag that i got from my sis' tank and I have an orange yuma thats about 3/4" to 1" Well I placed my xenia right in the nook of a rock trying to get it to spread to the rock and for a while it just kept doing its pumping motion toward the rock and feedling all over it so I thought everything was going good. Well today my xenia discovered that theres other things aroound him lol. While fully extended he can touch the very edge of a side of my orange yuma. I watched the xenia kind of scan over the edge of the yuma with his polyps a couple times then I saw him kind of pressing on the yuma. Well when he went to retract his "polyp" thing I could see one of the yumas polyps being stretched with it as if one of them was holding on to the other one. Then I saw the xenias polyp ball up and it hasent extended in about half an hour, all other polyps are open. And ive moved the xenia. Should I be concerned one of them stung each other?

could be stinging, but i have never been able to keep xeina alive. I have my ricordea's right next to my zoa's and the just grow around them, no issues as of yet. Maybe someone with more luck with xeina can shime in.

it will heal..keep the xenia away from other corals

today i took the xenia off of a plug and glued him to his own rock where he cant touch anyone.

My zenia is growing like weeds in my 10g dirty tank with several different shrooms that are all doing well no yumas though or rics

by dirty i mean there is no skimmer or filter of any type one power head
