Just curious on what LPS are compatible with each other? I’ve read acan and scoly can be kept next to each other (acan with acan, scoly with scoly) but what about lobophyllia or trachyphyllia?

Like species can get along but there is a greater risk when mixing LPS together. They have the ability to sting and throw out mesenterial filaments and literally digest each other.

Is there a minimum advised distance to keep them apart?
 
Your scoly and trachy in the first pic are fine but keep an eye at night as trachyphyllia can swell quite a bit, anything with sweepers I try to keep a minimum of 4 to 6" apart as they can reach pretty far.
