My wife has recently purchased a green galaxea, it is doing fine so far but I am wondering if it will sting my clownfish, angelfish or gobies. I know they will sting other corals, just curius about my fishes health. I noticed my pearlscale angelfish trying to nip at either the tenticales or algea at the base of the rock.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is always a slight possiblity that your galaxea sweeper tenticles could sting your fish. It would be the same with you if the tenticles touches your bare skin. As far as it being a problem, I don't think you really have too much to worry about. The fish can get away. It's your corals that are too close and cannot move that are more in danger of damage or killing them. Have fun with your new addition.
