My mushrooms have nuked a few SPS frags and almost a colony. They've also grown up the base of my frogspawn to annoy that colony causing it to not extend fully. I've been using kalk paste to kill mushrooms recently because they have been such a pain.

Mushrooms and SPS do not mix. The mushrooms sting wins every time.

LPS have sweeper tentacles which can extend up to 6".

Sps have a mucous which stings.

Leathers corals release toxins into the water.
