corals touching

[gtriamy]

I was wondering what of my corals i can keep close together and what corals have to have their own room to themselves... heres the list.

GSP
pulsing xenia
frogspawn
hammer
misc. zoas
few random shrooms
ricordia florida
flower anemone

i noticed that when i put the gsp and the xenia close to each other, the xenia that would touch the GSP would become "brittle" looking, dried up almost. I asked about this and ppl told me that GSP and xenia shouldn't have a problem with each other...
I've also noticed that in other ppls tanks, they have xenia and frogspawn really close to each other, so any info on the above corals with each other would be great. TIA

i wouldnt recommend that you have any corals touching eachother, esp. the froggie and the hammer bcause of those long sweeper tentacles

I wouldn't recommend that you place your corals close enough that they are touching each other. You need to allow room for them to grow.

the softies are ok to touch each other. xenia won't hurt anything. now the LPS are another story. keep LPS away from everything.

your frogspawn and hammers are the main aggressors of what you have, but in another year your Xenia will have grown to the point that it's touching everything

Your frogspawn and hammer can be right next to each other. They are both in the Euphyllia family. Toches, frogs, and hammers are all ok together. But keep them spaced apart from others.

Bubbles and galaxia are the worst about sweepers, really aggressive. When you get those, get a big clear space.

Xenia smells to high heaven, and may be somewhat chemically aggressive...I don't let mine touch anything.
