Suitable neighbors for Colt coral?

So I'm getting ready to stock my 90 gallon DT which is going to be a softie dominated tank. My first purchase was a 3" frag of green finger sinularia. My original plan was to place a red colt next to the sinularia to create a nice color contrast. However I read on live aquaria that red colts can sting their neighbors especially sinularia species in particular. Anybody got any info on this? My goal is to have some taller leathers of different colors going all the way across the back of my tank swaying in the current. Anybody got recommendations for corals that won't attack each other if placed in this manner?
 
Just give them enough room to grow but so that they won't crash into and potentially start some kind of warfare. Just try out different spots in your tank and if it doesn't seem to like where it is, then move it. Just my opinion.
 
Colt corals can also be "thinned out" quite easily. As long as the corals are not brushing up against each other on a regular basis, they should be fine next to each other. Adequate flow and running carbon will also help the corals to get along. GL.
