Pavona cactus aggressiveness

[IslandCrow]

I've read some conflicting information about the aggressiveness of Pavona cactus corals. Can anyone out there who's owned one for awhile say for sure whether or not they have sweeper tentacles and if they do, what a safe distance would be from other corals?

Here's a good article from the RDO archives by Eric Borneman, according to him it sounds fairly aggressive.

I have a fist sized piece of Pavona that is doing great in my reef tank. It is adjacent to some Frogspawn, about 6" from a music box and a chili coral, and has never harmed any of them. It is a beautiful animal that really floresces under actinic lighting. Have never seen sweepers on it during dawn,daylight, or dusk.
