What are some specific corals that can be very close or touching mushrooms without killing them... besides other mushrooms.
Im doing a mushroom/softy/macro algae display tank. I currently have 2 rics, 4 rhodactus, 3 dioscoma, 2 gorgs, 4 zoas and a bunch of macro algae

I would like to add a candy cane, frogspawn, hammer and some softies as well as more macro algae so i need help so i know what can go very close to the shrooms.

The tank is 36" long 28gallons.
 
Petty much all the leather corals would be safe.
I think almost all of the lps corals will use sweeper tentacles that sting and try and kill other corals that get too close.
The hammers, canday canes, and frogspawns may be ok because of the longer stalks that keep them up above where the mushrooms will be.
 
how many leathers would be safe in a small tank together?? I really love my shrooms and dont want to hurt them :)

That is a question only you can answer by trying and seeing what will work in your own tank.
I could say 6 and then someone else could say,,,, oh no, only 4 and so on.
So my suggestion would be to pick a couple out., acclimate them to the tank and see how they spread out and go from there.
Wait a month or so and add another one or two.
Let them get good and comfortable in the tank before buying and adding more.
