Zoo + Yellow Leather Contact = OK?

[jimrawr]

Some zoos and my fiji yellow are getting mighty close, and I think they are safe but I just want to make sure. By might close I mean within milimeters when the leather is fully extended.

Should I start moving things around or is it safe?

I don't usually see any problems with zoa's and leathers come in contact, but my Figi has never been a guine pig on this one.

I wouldn't worry, but just keep a close eye on the leather. If you see the area where the zoa's are coming in contact look ; irritated, lacking polyp extension relative to the rest of the colony, or developing any sign of black neucrotic tissue - then move em quick. Unless you see any of the above, I'd bet they will be fine.

Also, as the zoa's move in closer they may get shaded by the leather which will discourage them from moving any closer.
