Frogspawn and torch next to each other okay?

[ACBlinky]

I've got a nice spot in my 30g where I'd like to move my torch (he's getting a bit too much flow right now and blocking light to other corals). There's a froggy that's out of his reach right now, underneath him on a ledge, but if I moved the torch they'd be directly next to one another. Anyone see a problem there? I know euphyllias can sometimes be okay together, but I've also heard that torches are the most likely to sting another euphyllia so I'm not sure if it's wise.

I know my hammer and frogspawn don't mind touching; my lfs has torch up next to other torch, but I'm not sure about the combo.

it should be okay, they're all from the same genus i believe. correct me if i'm wrong. i've seen hammers torch frogs next to each other in some tanks no problem.

Most times they will be fine but there is a chance that they will fight. My frog and torch are touching slightly. The frospawn could care less and is full as he can be on that side. The torch is a tiny bit deflated where they touch but nothing major, hardly noticeable unless you really look.

Thanks guys

I've heard from more than one source that although frogs and hammers can touch will relative ease, torches and frogs/hammers is a bit more iffy. sometimes it'll work, other times it don't.

My torch must be aggressive..because it will send out those mesentary{sp?} filaments if it gets too close to hammer or frog.

i emailed eric borneman about creating a euphyllia tank with frogspawn, torch, hammer and grape corals, and he seemed to think that it would work out pretty well

IME Torch coral will be fine rubbing shoulders with a Hammer or Frogspawn.... until the day the Hammer or Frogspawn kills it.
