Is there a guide for Coral Compatibility? I’m placing Corals in my 120 Gallon. So far Hollywood Stunner on Plug Glued to back glass. It’s behind a rock. I know this Coral will kill anything, above it. Birds Nest on a Plug on the Center Overflow. Put this lower, since it’s growing out of the water on my 65 Gallon. Green Pocillipora is on a Base Rock on the opposite side, “Right,” from the Stunner. Also I made a Rock with an under shelf for Sun Corals, since I killed it in the pas, ramping lights up.
 
I don't think there are hard and fast rules on stinging guides. Some have said their montis killed acros, 2 of my acros have killed encroaching montis. Some say LPS are always stronger than SPS, but one of my acros stung and killed back an encroaching favites. My Stylocoeniella is killing back one encroaching acropora. And I have torches touching montipora digis without stinging anything.

So I think it all depends on the corals health as well.
