Hi everyone! I've been adding some more LPS to the tank and realized i may have glued my hammers and frogspawn too close?

Does anyone have suggestions for if i should break these guys off and move them around or if they're fine like that?

Looking for other suggestions too about coral placement and additions. I'm looking for more wavy stuff if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks!!

Frogspawn and hammers can touch. I have a garden of those and they rare have issues. Only torches can’t touch any other Euphyllia other than torches.

You don’t want to necessarily glue as heads grow and you need ample space for them. I like my hammers and frogspawn placed at the bottom of the tank with minimal flow and lower to medium light around 250 par tops.
 
I know some people successfully have their hammers and frogspawn so close, but it didn't work out for me. My frogspawn killed about 5 polyps on my hammer before I noticed and moved it away.

Anyway, you'll find out soon lol.

But, coral warfare aside, you really have left no room for them to grow. You should leave a couple of inches for growth IMO.
 
Mine are happily together and I have a whole garden now (more than in this pic). What I was told when I started was keep torches away from them on the other side of the tank.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
