hey peeps.
right now i have a mix of corals in my tank. the most dominant being a colt a little smaller than a football.
also there is a kenya tree about 5 inches tall, a few mushrooms here and there, a small toadstool, gsp, frogspawn, and a few xenia clusters.

recently i have added some small acro frags, a pocilapora, montipora confusa, green slimmer....
all corals are doing remarkably well so far.

my question is - should i keep completely seperate these stonys from the others, or is it just a matter of current direction?
i am somewhat aware of the "chemical warfare" corals can engage in, and i do have rock towers that i can isolate certain types on, if need be.
how far away should i have them?
below are examples of the random placement so far....

Sorry, I was out of town for four days snowmobiling. IMO you should be fine with the mix of corals you have in the tank so far. Other than the toadstool coral, I believe the softies you have in the tank are fairly passive regarding the release of turpines into the water column. Other than having direct contact, the softie should not cause growth issues for your SPS and frogspawn. If you are truely worried. Just run carbon in a media reactor 24/7 just like your skimmer. :P
