SPS placement

[Polyp Addict]

I'll be adding SPS soon to my tank and would like feedback on placement. I see tons of photos and they're really close to each other, some look to even touch. I'm just confused because for the most part I thought that SPS would sting each other causing damage to that branch. Any insight would help because I'd love to put as much SPS together as I can but don't want any coral battles

I use a LOT of carbon due to this fact. Some battle and some dont.

So I can just place any type of SPS next to each other?

Well a person has to allow for grow out of the coral so initial placement is thought out.
There are adverse reactions within the tank that will be an identifier of toxin battles.
Some will live together and some wont.

I always wondered about that too, if the SPS is the same species for example... 2 tenius species but completely different colors will these 2 fight for space?

future growing space, water movement and lighting are my main concerns. I use Frag mounts from the filter guys so I can move my corals at any time. (3"X 3" ones) http://www.thefilterguys.biz/frag_supplies.htm

Typically typically speaking like species will get along and grow fine into one another without warfare.

That's great, thanks

Same species of corals do not compete for space. They will, however, grow into (blend) or over each other. Different species sometimes coexist when touching; others will damage other corals in close proximity.
