I wasn't even thinking when I did this other than this will look cool. I wanted to grow a rock with all different colored acans all over it. But now sitting back and looking at it have I made a mistake? Are these going to fight with each other?

Forgive the crappy phone pictures these are actually really pretty in real life.

They're pretty non-aggressive. Definitely ok next to each other, usually ok next to others.
 
The all look like Micromussa lordhowensis so you should be fine, you want to avoid placing Acanthastrea echinata near Micromussa lordhowensis.

I really like the way you placed the Micromussa lordhowensis, it's beautiful.
 
Say Micromussa Lordhowensis one more time. ;)

Ok :p

It's not my fault that the name changed. Do not even get me started on Aiptasia name change, Brain Corals... Point is that is a common mistake to put Acanthastrea echinata near Micromussa lordhowensis thinking they will get along. Acanthastrea echinata always wins.

Acanthastrea echinata, Micromussa lordhowensis, Acanthastrea echinata :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Haha I was just messing. I didn't know Aiptasia name changed!

I just got an Echinata from WWC. Scared to death of it, but it's amazing, so I'll have to find a spot for it.
