Is it possible to mix Acans?

[Bryon]

I recently bought a few different varieties of Acan frags. The problem for me is, I'm not really digging all the frags spread out all over the tank. I was wondering if I could place these closer together or even mounted on the same plug or rock without them killing each other. I've read about coral wars and giving certain corals room to expand. I just wasn't sure if this would cause Acan on Acan violence. Does anybody have any experience with doing this.

As long as both are of the same species, Acan lord with acan lord. You can NOT mix a acan lord with a acan echinata, the echinata will devour the lord.

You cant mix lords with bowerbanki either. I learned the hard way.

I should have mentioned that they are all Acan lords. They just all came from different mothers.

Yup, you can mix them up. Mine sit on the sand, very close to each other when fully extended.

Do they come in contact with each other at all?

here mine touching.

Yes they use each other as cushions. No problems with them burning each other.

This is good to know, hadn't the slightest clue either.

As long as you follow the advise above about same species no problem.

Thanks for the help. Now I'll be able to place them together without watching over them 24/7.
