2 BTA touching? Is this ok?

[Ninjapotamus]

Can BTA's touch other BTA or will they fight? I notice all the LFS have them in the same tank with other BTA/nems and dont seem to care if they touch. Is this fine?

I have 2 small RBTA that decided they both like the same rock and they slightly touch tentacles on one side. One of the RBTA seems to not inflate on that side as much since they settles next to each other.

Should I manually move one of them and risk damaging it or will they move on their own if the situation is unpleasant?

(these are not clones btw)

are they clones?

I have had different color morphs of the same species of anemones touch without issue. This includes BTAs (( E Quadricolor )), LTAs (( M doreensis )) and S. Haddonis. Different species touching will be an issue, but the same will be fine.
