Coral compatibility?

[Cody Ray]

I currently have Sarcophyton sp. (toadstool leather), Capnella sp. (kenya tree coral), and Alcyonium sp.(colt coral) in my aquarium. Before this I also had Sinularia sp. (knobby leather) and Sinularia dura (cabbage leather) in the tank. My toadstool wasn't looking good so I did some research and learned that sarcophyton and sinularia will wage chemical warefare on one another so the sinularia was removed. Will the corals that I still have in my aquarium coexist or will the toadstool, kenya, and colt also release chemicals? Niether the colt or kenya have shown signs of distress so I assume that if the toadstool is still releasing chemicals they are not botherd.

Running Activated Carbon will help with the chemical warfare if it is indeed going on.
I used to run Sinularia and Sarcophyton in the same tank but it was much larger.
BTW the Sarco require very high lighting specially if it is of the Yellow variety

It isn't the yellow fiji, but I kind of wish it was

I have a toadstool, neon green sinularia, and colt and all do well together. I run carbon 24/7 and change it monthly.

I remember about the Cabbage leather giving off a chemical sent. Like it wa stated run carbon you should be fine....
