Mixing LPS

Hello all-

I have a 14 head frogspawn, but am very interested in torch and bubbles. I know about their sweepers on other corals, but can they harm each other? A bubble piece is my next desire for sure

If you give a minimum 6 inches between all Euphyllia species, they should be fine. Bubbles, torches, frogspawn, hammer, etc. will all attack their other Euphyllia cousins, so they do need the space between them and other corals.

I have frog and hammer colonies intermingled and they're all fine. I think once you get into torches and bubbles they're too far removed to play nice.

Really?

Hammers and Frogspawn intermingle well, photo evidence attached. Their sweepers can exceed 6" in my experience.

Most Bubbles are plerogyra and their sweepers are relatively short. 6" should workout OK

Do be cautious with Torches, they don't play well with others. ;)
