Galaxy coral close to torch coral, bad?

[nathan1986]

I have a large galaxy coral (large to me) in my aquarium. The rest of the aquarium is mainly sps thats growing out. I have a 9 head dragon soul torch that im removing from one of my tanks because it keeps stinging my sps. Im curious if the torch and galaxy will somewhat get along. I know torch corals will out compete alot of lps and i also read galaxy corals can pack a punch. And both have long sweepers. The corals wont be directly next to each other but possibly close enough for sweepers to come in contact with each other.

Yes VERY bad. Torches are pretty bad at stinging but the Galaxy will probably kill the torch. You need at least 6" if not more space between them.

Okay. Right now the torch is on the sand bed away from everything. Once acclimated to the lights ill have to figure out where to place it. Thanks!
