Week End Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004	In many reef tanks I have seen, they are all packed with various types of corals and quite often really close to each other or even touching each other especailly when some of them expand their tentactles. But is it really okay to let them in contact with each other?

There are some corals that can be touching and not have any side effects. [hr width='40%']Ever since the day you went away And left me lonely and cold My life just hasn't been the same Oh baby no

A goni and a torch cant.......they would end up going into battle to defend their space. Im afraid the goni would lose

There are some where they will still engage in battle though.....Acropora species being one that pops into my mind.
