    Do sunburst sting?

    I have an orange sunburst that I have had for several months. I recently bought a black sunburst and I placed it under the same cave I have the orange one under. Do you think these 2 sunburst will sting one another? Also I have a modern coral close to these two so it can be shaded somewhat also. Do you think the sunburst will sting the modern coral or the modern coral will sting the sunburst. The modern is about 4 inches from the sunburst.

    I wanted to see if I could put a pic up. If this works this is the modern red brain I am talking about.

    G'day,
    I'm presuming you mean Tubastrea sp. If this is the case, they do have nematocysts, this is solely how they feed as they have no zooxanthellae, and consequently require frequent feedings to survive. However, I doubt they will sting each other.
    Regards,
    Tom
