Acan kill pompom?

[clancaster23]

I have a nice pair of pompom frags on a frag disc that I moved fairly close to an acan I have in the tank. If they were to touch, would the acan kill off whatever touched it? I don't want to have to move the pompom since it's doing really well where I relocated it to but I will if it may be killed off. If I have to move, I'd like to just take it off the disk and onto a rock, would I just use a razor and slice it off of the disk then reglue onto a rock?

If you can deal with the disc for a week or two, just place the xenias next to a rock it can touch and it will jump ship in no time.Then when it's connected to both pieces you can cut them apart and there's a real good chance you have a new frag on the disc again. Here is a pic of one of mine on the run.

+1 salty b...the acan would kill it. It'll move over by itself in a matter of days, especially if it senses danger.

Yes, acans pack a pretty potent sting. They will kill other corals that their tentacles come in contact with.
