Default Aiptasia

Can to many of Aiptasia effect corals or by chance kill off coral?



Thanks,

I wouldn't think so even though they are will "Filter" the water as some people keep them just for that purpose in a refugium to "clean" the water.

They can kill them if they touch them.

Welcome to RB Joe!

Yes, they can sting and even kill corals, however, unless there are a bunch of them around a coral or the coral is a small frag, they won't usually harm them enough to kill them off completely.
