    Not sure if its actually compatibility, but I was looking at that thread of "rickys 120 g" and it looks like some of his corals are touching. I feel like I'm starting to run out of room in my tank because I am concerned about putting corals too close together and them touching. Any advice. Also, I would like to get an anemone and a couple clowns, but my LFS warned me not to put anemones in a reef tank as they will kill corals when they roam. Should I believe any differently?

    if you know your corals well enough you can let certain ones touch but i would never trust an anemone.like your lfs said

    Anemones are supposed to be one of the first to be added to your tank. I rescued one from a friend and put it in an established reef. He didn't make it more than a week before I yanked it out and put it in my FOWLR tank. I hope this isn't the start of another reef tank.

    just my opinion: anemone shouldnt be in a tank with corals, reason: corals dont move anemones do.
