Usually nothing. Often though one is faster grower than the other and can smother the other. Usually it is bigger polyps smothering smaller polyps, but not always.

OK, as long as the Palys don't kill the Zoas by stinging. I can always trim back the Palys a bit. I just don't want to lose any of my Zoas.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I would recommend you wear gloves.

Yes, I do when handling corals. I've read about the danger of Palys. Good reminder for everyone, though. Thanks.
