Okay, I'm throwing this one out there. My bta has moved AGAIN. It is not on any corals but when it fully opens up it brushes against a cup coral I have. Should I move the cup coral or will it be able to take the heat, or should I say stings? I know the bta's can cover up a coral when they move around, but how bad does it really sting other corals??? This particular bta has not stayed in one place for more than one week. Should I wait to see if it will move again?

I have seen many things touching and not even caring, the sign is which one if any are retracting their tissue, when they are under attack there will be no question to you of >if<, they are being damaged. I would have said let it ride and learn...but thats me and I am crazy like that.
