    Hi, I have 2 different frogspawns currently that are roughly 3.5 inches apart. I am curious if this will cause problems in the future? One is brown with green tips and the other is green with pink tips.

    If it will cause problems, what should I look for? One coral receding on the side that the other coral is on?

    Thanks in advance!

    Should not be a problem. They may not open as fully on the common side but will not harm each other.

    euphs are fine touching, I found that my hammers and frogspawn seemed happier and extended more when placed close together. Sam goes for my torch, they did better when I put them around one another. Strength in #'s maybe?

    Euphyllia can be touching each other with no problems. Just don't do the same with other corals.

    Ive actually placed a hammer and frogspawn right next to eachother on purpose before...
    So when polyps extended it looked like one huge piece.

    Wouldnt do this with a torch and other euphyllias though... not sure of the consequences
