Losing space, possible coral wars, do I have to worry?

[JotaDe]

I've got a Torch that's getting close to a Monti Cap, Candy Cane, Plate Coral, and Pulsing Xenia.

I've got a Hammer that's getting close to Monti digi encrusting, and Lace Coral.

I've got a Yaya Frogspawn that's getting close to some Blasto Micros, and GSPs

So far I've seen no damage.
Do I need to worry, do I need to move pieces, any definite casualties in my future?

What will go together: candy cane can go very near monti, or even frogspawn: its feeders are very short: mine nearly touches. Xenia doesn't care much: it stinks [literally, but it's benign.] Plate is your fussy one. Get it to safety. Don't know lace coral: I'm assuming it's a softie, so you might get it next to the xenia. The froggie and the hammer can touch and mingle with no problems, and even torch may not fuss too much at touching either of them, though be careful: they're all euphyllias, and particularly frog and hammer are friendly to each other. Gps doesn't bother much: it can be an insulator.

I've got the plate coral in a safe place for now, thanks for the advice.

How about the frogspawn and blasto micro?

i would take care with the placement of the torch, eric borneman wrote a good article that the exception to the euphyllia rule of being able to place together is the E. glabrescens (torch )

here is a link to the article (pdf )

my frogspawn distroyed a portion of one of my candy canes. be carfull. and i think the montipora shouldnt be a problem, it grows so quick and its probly the one invading the lps and will simply die back when it touches and try to regrow over the dead part.

Euphyllia just seem offensive those nasty sweepers they all get. Looks like they're just itchin' to cause harm.
I'm gonna have to do some fragging as well moving because that Torch is growing as fast as my Xenia

The two worst re sweepers are galaxia [up to a foot] and bubble [6 inches]. The rest are pretty small, an inch or less. I think that turbulence creates better neighbors. I have green stripe and purple mushrooms touching frog and hammer, candy cane and digitata with no problem, and have frog in very occasional near-brush with candy cane, all in gentle, constant motion due to the sea swirl that blows things around. I think the kind of contact matters: if intermittent and due to current it seems much better tolerated. I've not tried torch in this combo, but plate is just a little delicate, and protection for it is a good thing. I have a monster green bubble that stakes out a major section of bottom and landscaping around that is hard---particularly when a fighting conch nudges one of my sand-based corals closer to it when I'm not looking! No disasters, but I think I just lost a crab to it this evening: one fell off the rock, I saw it go, and I think the bubble ate it.
