From what I know, usually, corals of the same genus can be placed together. I would wager that A. pachysepta can be placed with TRUE Acanthastrea (echinata, subechinata, hemprichii, brevis, rotundoflora; these are all grouped together as echinata by the hobby), but not with lords and bowerbankis, as those are Micromussa and Homophyllia, respectively. I would be careful with "echinatas" from Australia, though, as they might actually be bowerbankis.

Keep them away, at least a few inches.
They pack a punch.
It beat up my chalice,more than once.
