The tyree BGM is diffrent then the cornbread bubble gum. I dont see the point in this, i know i have spent thousands of dollars i would never "Test" a chalice to see how close it came. Two of mine where close one time, a Tyree pink watermelon and a JF war of the worlds and the war of the worlds took out about 6 eyes in about 6 hours of when i was at work. These two chalice's where next to eacchother for more then 4 months before the WOW hit the tyree pink in daylight. Those six eyes put me back about 6-7 months growth. Granted after it died i grew them back in about two months but still. Any chalice i pay real money for gets a few squars or some decent space to it's closest other coral.

I meant to say tyree.....So you are saying sometimes the corals dont harm each other and then you think they will be fine and the sweepers come out to kill? Did not really know how to word that

Identifying coral to an exact species can be a greased pig chase. Even if you know that it's an Echinophyllia, that's an entire genus (not a species.) Just take it slow, wait and see how long the sweepers are and place them accordingly. If there's not enough room for that, it's time to upgrade. I've had had two corals be the same distance apart for years and then duke it out.

But that would be the boring way.... Even different species can be okay together sometimes (see link). I would bet money (frags) that BGM, MH, and sour apple would be fine. Btw, KLR, is that a purple urkle in your avatar or MH?

Corals Defy Species Classification

Ok
It is the blue magic chalice (Coraldiva)

I have had them kill eachother after being next to eachother for months. Also trust me i feed almost everynight and look every night they normaly dont release there FULL sweeper length.
