Real estate in my tank is becoming tight and I am going to be rearranging things this weekend. Which of the following corals can be close to each other and which should I put far away?
torch
hammer
frogspawn
anthelia
gsp
button polyps
lobo brain
open red brain
kenya trees
mushrooms
colt

Thanks for any and all advice !
 
Torch, hammer, and frogspawn can come close to one another. The rest... phew... the brains are the most important, they shouldn't be near to anything. The rest of the softs/polyps, well, if space is that tight, it's probably time to start pruning and fragging out to other aquarists, your LFS, or, if you have to, the garbage bin.
 
Can touch: hammer and frogspawn, anthelia and gsp (but better to keep each with own kind - anthelia with xenia, gsp with bsp). Had also kenya tree (the brown, open kind) touching red mushrooms for a short time - mushrooms didn't like tank - created the white perimeter.

I wouldn't place brains, touching anything.
 
Be careful with the torch it can get a nasty sweeper to come out and night that will kill anything that it touches. I know mine can kill anything within a 6" diameter.
