How Stingy Are Hammer Corals?

[simonas]

I;ve come back from holiday and my hammer coral has some elongated heads,
I;ve also noticed that the mushroom that is near it has shrunk a lot and my Elegance has shrivelled right into its shell after initially looking spot on befroe I left. I thought that may be too far away

heres a pic and let me know what you think, the hammers right in the centre but would be easy to move

Never underestimate the sting of any corals. Because my tank is so crowded I have run into many occurrences of corals getting stung (Although mainly because little critters like to knock the corals onto one another). My hammer in particular does not really sting (which is why he is so close to other corals and my clam), but my frogspawn is a nasty little thing. Stinging tentacles out 24/7 and has stung one of my corals badly before. Definitely give euphyillas their space.
