What could be a good neighbor to a Pavona coral?

[NoAhoysLeft]

I have an orange Pavona that seems to be the encrusting type. It's slowly growing over its frag plug which is a good sign, but I still intend to place more corals.

What would be okay to place? Should I look for a green branching/cactus type Pavona for a neighbor? What kind of coral won't fight with the Pavona or would at least minimize harm to it? I am going to keep any flowy wavy softies far away from it.

Never seen an orange pavona, any pics?

I have an orange Pavona growing right next to a Turbinaria, they’re touching and not bothering each other, though they slowly come closer together so it may influenced their “relationship”.

My green Panvona on the other hand is growing on top of other corals, hanged with a magnet, and doesn’t seem to be able to reach any corals that are right underneath it.

At least, it was sold to me as Pavona.

Sorry for the ugly tank. Dealing with dinos

Good to know. Thanks for the reply

Definitely looks like a pavona, great find! Never kept them myself but my LFS does has a hairy cactus pavona that is stinging an Alveopora colony in the display tank, theirs also has some pretty long sweepers so I'm not so sure on the compatability. @encrustingacro any thoughts?
