    Can Xenia be very close to candy cane coral? They pretty much touch depending in the current.

    Also can duncans be close to candy canes and Lobos?

    Oh....what about Lobos and Hammer....can they be close too?

    Room is getting tight on the sand bed and these things are kinda close....just wanna make sure they are all ok next to each other.

    Thanks!

    Just bare in mind that some LPS can release sweeper tentacles. I used to have a lobo that used to exert its digestive track all over any coral that was remotely close to it.

    But ive seen tanks where LPS are really close together with no aparrent irritation.

    I just gave them a bunch of space....I shuffled things around and moved a couple small pieces up and now I think they should all be a safe distance!

    Thanks!!!
