Lots of flow to keep chemicals off each of them would help, as well.
Carbon, and water changes.

Oh, I'd look for snails as well. Lift them up and sniff them. They may have died and you wouldn't know it, they'd fouled up the water pretty quickly.

Maybe do yet another water change, just to be sure.HTH.
OOOPS, forgot about the stinging, my mind was just on toxin emmisions... Sorry about that. I should of known that, since I have all those corals also. Also I was thinking as long as they were not to close, they shouldn't have issues, but I didn't explain it well. Sorry.

ALang is certainly correct, things like frogspawn, torches, etc. can extend their branches and they can sting around them, to clear way for their growth. So Yes, don't have them too close to each other.
