Thanks for the help guys. How many of these do I need to spot feed? I know the duncan because i can see the oral disk when they are open.

Hydnophora kills other corals it touches...I'd give it some room

All corals can harm other corals; they can sting each other if they are close enough. Some are a little more aggressive then others such as hammer, hydnophora, and galaxia. So yes your hydnophora will sting other corals if there is anything near it!
