Rics and Zoa's

Can ricordias/mushrooms touch zoa's or be close to each other? Wondering if they would affect each others growth when they grow closer together. Thanks

In my tank (mostly, in fact rics and zoas!), the zoanthids always lose out once they growinto contact with the ricordeas.

That's just anecdotal, though; others may say different.

Yeah, there isn't many coral that can take out a ric. I've just lost a few heads of Micro to a ric.

mushrooms and rics can tough, mine are right now. I wish the rics would kill those mushrooms though.. lol maybe they will!

What about mushrooms to Zoa's? I have a red mushroom by some flourescent green zoas and the zoas are open all the time and the red shroom seems to close up from time to time. Last night the red shroom shot out some white cloudy stuff and shrunk up even more???
