Ok so I know ones SPS and one is LPS but can these two corals coexist on the same rock or will one run the other into the dirt with coral warfare? I have a Mr. Freeze lepto I want to pair on its rock with a cyphastrea but I’m not sure how they would interact:

I am wanting to know the same! I thought they were both sps though!

Did you try mixing if so how are they doing?

Neither Leptoseris nor Cyphastrea are particularly aggressive, so they should be able to coexist.
Also, Mr. freeze Leptoseris are actually Pavona varians.

I thought I read the cyphaestra dosnt sting but lepto do. I have a jack o lantern very close to a goni and they dont fight! There about 1/2 inch apart! So I think I should be ok with the cheap leptos and cyphaestra I won on ebay! Anyone know about rainbow montis being ok with them?
