Xenia question

Can a Xenia sting any other coral?
I have a Xenia next to some kind of clove coral (soft) and the cloves have been loosing color, I first moved my water flow so it is not so forcefull but this was yesterday and it does not look better. Should I just give it time?

Check it out.

I have xenia in my main tank and my nano. In the nano they touch some sunburst star polyps with no ill effect to either coral. I dont know for sure if they sting any other type of coral or not. HTH

Xenia is the first to get stung usually, and is pretty calm.

They've never stung anything, but my Fiji didn't like getting brushed all the time so Mr. Xenia got moved. Yes, the stuff is very stinky!!
