Can these torches touch?

I just got a dragon tamer touch and its next to my cotton candy will this be a problem? Is there things I should look out for. The dragon tamer just got added that's why hes closed.

Generally considered ok to touch but in some instances I've heard of torches from different locations not playing well together.

That's what I heard I think the green guy has thicker polyps so im kinda worried. I guess I'll just try to keep a eye out when it opens

I’ve got three different Indonesian torches and they all touch when the currents blow them around. If you notice one sticking to the other, move it!

I’m not an expert by far, but I would say yes.

You should be fine. I don’t have a dragon tamer, but I have a cotton candy next to a Rasta, holy grail, and an indo gold. I think most reported torch aggression comes from placing Euphyllia glabrescens, the typical long tentacle torch, next to Euphyllia cristata, these are often marketed as short tentacle Aussie torches and have shorter, fatter tentacles. In theory it shouldn’t be a problem since they are in the same genus, but torches are aggressive, especially E. glabrescens. I know someone who has them next to each other, and the cristata torches will end up with burnt tentacles whenever he turns off the flow and allows the tentacles to touch for an extended period of time. Some people don’t have issues placing torches of different regions, hammers, and frogspawns next to each other, but I can tell you from personal experience that torches do not play nice with hammers and frogspawns in the long run. I know there is reported aggression between torches of different regions, but I’ve never seen it in person unless they’re entirely different species. As far as I know, most dragon tamers and cotton candies are indo torches, so you should be good to go.
