I'm looking to invest in some corals. Can I put Acropora, zoanthids and LPS in a tank together?

I have a 20 gallon with AI prime HD. 24 high, 18 long

Yes. But do so slowly.
It’s s common mixed reef.

Also keep room for growth. Many lps are pretty aggressive.

In some instances corals “downstream “ will trigger other corals. Kinda cool.

(Your tank is young , Avoid the acros).

For me, the key to keeping LPS (Euphyllia, Micromussa, Favites) in a higher-flow environment has been constant observation to ensure that they are consistently open and that the tissue is not being damaged. The nice thing about most LPS is that they can be easily relocated if needed.

I had a hammer with 2 heads and it was on the bottom of the tank but under a lot of flow and the 2nd head got ripped off. Had to move it to medium flow
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
