Can different types of Pectinias be kept together?

[kichimark]

Hello everyone. I have a space invader pectinia and was thinking about getting another pectinia of a different type. I know these corals have a large reach with their tentacles and was wondering if they could be placed close to each other (around the same area) similar to how some Euphyllias can be close together?

bump. tagging along. i have a tri-color and 5 frags of a riddler rescue up and coming. would be nice to keep them near each other, preferably on the same large rock.

It doesn't look like much for responses. I can put a few next to each other, wait a year for them to grow in, then I'll post an update lol.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing haha. I will update this too if I can remember. Good luck GSO :beer:.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume that like many other corals in the same genus they can be put near each other without a strong defensive response, although that doesn't mean that there will be no response.

I have 5 pectinias, all in one spot. 2 of them are 1 cm from each other. No issues.
