Sps near lps like acans

[Redrosetuscan]

I have a few areas which would IMO be suitable for some lps. I'm not really In to lps but do like the acans. How close can these be to acros etc? Will they sting them?

A lot seem to be found in shallow water so I assume these will be fine with flow and light?

Keep the SPS at least a few inches from the Acans especially when the Acans are upstream flow wise of the SPS. At night the Acans will digest nearby SPS.

I have never had a problem with my acans and sps except when an sps falls down into the acan.

Here you can see my yellow pocillopora half an inch from a big acan:
