Can all species of birds nest be placed close together?

[datsunfiveten]

Hey I have searched for answers to this question and have gotten mixed responses. So I am sorry if this thread exists already I have not found it.

Main question is I really like birds nest and currently have them spread apart in my tank. I was wondering if they can be placed in close proximity of each other? I think it would look nice to have all the different colors near each other. I also have a some monties and acros in would also like to know where those stand. I have a 120 and lots frags starting to get big and would like to make most of the realastate

Thanks

I think it would be best to keep them seperated. Although I have had many coexist they may grow at different rates and one will out grow the other and dominate it anyway...

Thanks for the reply. I figured it would be best. I have seen monti caps. Grow intertwined so I was wondering other coral would do.

I have a green bird and bird of paradise basically intertwined with eachother. The green is winning in growth though.

Humm maybe I'll frag some small peices and try it.

Yeah you just never know when corals will fight … it seems hit and miss.

Hammers, Torches and Frogspawns are one where everyone says they can rub and touch … and on one side of my tank, they do with no problems at all. On the other side of the tank, I have a hammer and a torch that fight non-stop whenever polyps make contact with each other.

Thanks good to know. I have an addiction to birds nest and similar corals. But they take up allot of relastate
