Meat coral compatability?

[mushy coral]

I’ve had one Acanthophyllia for a while, but I just picked up a second one at a holiday sale for such a low price I felt like I was robbing my LFS. I’m thinking about starting an Acanthophyllia garden. I’m planning to move other softies to my anemone tank to clear space on the sandbed, but I’m really want to keep my Rainbow Plate coral where it is and eventually add a couple of Scolys to the mix. Will these three species play nice together, or should I be worried about stinging

I have acanthos, cynarina and trachys next to each other without any issues. I don't think you can add scolys to that mix. I keep them separate. Maybe @VintageReefer can chime in.

Unfortuantely the store that i usually buy coral dont have cynarina, hes only have bunch of acanthos and a stunning scoly that he keep in his DT. Maybe I will try to use epoxy and glue to mound the scoly on the tank wall lol. Heard somewhere that scoly actually live like that on rockwork in the ocean. And then i can add some cynaria with my acanthos.

This is correct. The Scoly will be fine near the others for days or weeks then one morning you will awaken to them fighting with those stinging filaments

I have to keep Scoly 6+ inches away

I wouldnt keep anything but trachy, wellso, indo, cynarina, and acantho together. Plates and scoly would fight. As for the other meats, just dont have them piled mouth to mouth or they are bound to sting, you can have the fleshy bits piled up though. Dont mind the overly orange image, my filter sucks

I have my acanthos with my cynaria no problem. I will add a long tentacle plate in later so i will make sure there enough space between them
