    Can anyone tell me if you can put these coral close to each other without stinging each other?

    Popular belief is that Euphyllia species are peaceful toward one another; however, they have been known to sting each other on occasion, even after months of residing in close proximity without incident. Not being from the same mother colony, I wouldn't risk it.

    I have heard that Torch corals have the most potent of the 3, but then again I have seen plenty of tanks with them being neighbors without issue. I myself do keep my Hammer and Torch separated to be on the safe side.
