Acans happy with zoas

[Saltliquid]

An experiment that I started around 5 months back to see which will push out the other,zoas or acans.
Well it seems it's a stalemate, neither bothers each other and neither is pushing the other out of its space.
I have lots of other acans, but this area was made sort of for this purpose, to see what the over crowding would do!

When my zoas got close enough, me acans ate a few heads.

I would have thought one would harm the other as well, but these get on great for some reason?

This is cool to see. I wish there was more information relating to this available

i thought that the zoo would have cause some problems to the acans! whatever works

watch for filaments

watch for filaments

My lords and rotondoflora fire mesentery filaments at the Zoas around them. A dark red and orange skirt Zoa I have loses out to the rotondoflora but the colony is so wide spread doesn't bother me. Eagle eyes get attacked by lords but the don't seem worse for the wear damage if any is very subtle as Acans expand their size.

I have unobtainable palys and acan lords touching. Both fully expand/inflate and don't bother one another.

The one thing that do not do well with acans with what I have found is morphs,they kill the acan polyps quite quickly.
The rest of the many coral types that are next to them don’t get bothered by the acans.
The thing with acans that I like are the many pics if have taken over the years in the wild of many two types of acans living as one or against each other, now they are very cool.
