Hey everyone, are these too close to each other?

I’m wondering if these are going to be fighting each other and if I should maybe move a Goni over where the frogspawn is and move all the euphillia back some?

I’m kind of running out of space haha! I added the green Goni in the middle 4 days ago.
 
It's as said above, some can play along fine, some will not, and all those I would expect to have longer tentacles in time. You've already got them rubbing on one another, but some can get 4-5" tentacles when settled in, and the skeleton will keep on growing if they're happy (albeit slower.)

So basically move them? Haha
 
You may have some time, but if everything keeps growing it should only take a few months for them to be on top of each other and competing enough to start choking each other out if not stinging them.
 
Thanks, I’d like to avoid that sooner than later so I will probably do some re-arranging this weekend. Any ideas?

I was thinking maybe where the frogspawn is and scooting those all back. Maybe I need to get rid of something haha

People often make torch gardens, goni gardens, zoa gardens, etc.

I think you're likely going to be fine without moving them, you just have to watch them. If there's a sign of warfare then I'd move things around.
 
Personally i think that is very close.
I'd move your zoas somewhere on the rocks and that looks like a hammer (?) right above it and swap places with the Gonis.
 
A general rule I use: different species, separate before it’s a problem. Same species, separate when it’s a problem.

I think it’s pretty close too, it looked a lot nicer with just the two gonis but I got the green one for like 40 bucks.

So your saying move the zoas and the frogspawn above the zoas and place a Goni there?

Looking at it again, the frogspwn is alright where it is.

and looking at it closer, looks like you have a dead lps on the right of that blue goni. get rid of it and scooch the three gonis apart.

It could be just the lighting but there is only rockwork, to the right of the blue/purple Goni (the far right one in the photo). It’s pretty jagged so it would be hard to spread them out where they currently are.
