So here's the JF Jack'O and WWC Toxic spill Lepto both plating out and getting along. I don't see many defensive tentacles between the two or any scaring so I'm hoping they continue to coexist. Blurry shot from the long side shows them a little better

I have a Jack O'Lantern and a meteor shower on the same rock. I'm pretty sure the meteor shower will win that. How can I stop the meteor shower?

I'm thinking the Jack'o will win this simply because if it's ability to stretch out defensive tentacles. I don't think they'll live together, best to remove which ever's easiest and less damaging.

Really? The jack O'lantern is listed as passive, the meteor shower is aggressive.

I would agree Lepto's seem to be passive so you may be correct. If anything the Jack'O would put up a defensive wall with it's ability to stretch out tentacles and hold back the Meteor Shower. I have a Mayan Sun Favia that's trying to approach another Jack'O and I'll try to get a picture of that battle, they both seemed to agree to not grow towards each other anymore.

I guess we will find out! Am I correct in thinking that neither one will kill the entire colony?

How about Zoas vs a meteor shower?

What I found most surprising was the Jack'o kept my GSP at bay and actually caused the GSP to retract a little. This picture shows the Lepto's tentacles holding back GSP's which everyone told me the GSP would take over the Lepto. Nope, Lepto won.

I thought all Euphyllias got along. I have pink, green, and gold hammers. I never could find a orange branching hammer so I got a orange torch. The torch got along with the gold and green hammer. Once it grew close enough it started fighting with the pink hammer. I moved it about a month ago and the two heads it reached still have not fully recovered.

I think hammers and frogspawn coexist. Torches are a different story.

Grrr! Star Polyps vs Lobo and the polyps are winning. They come in unseen on the plug the lobo was on and were out of sight until I did a bit of a reshuffle.

The lobo wasn't exhibiting any signs of distress apart from the obvious tissue damage. I pulled it out to take a better look and the photo is taken immediately after so it looks a bit deflated.
