    I have some of my SPS touching to balance each other out since i dont want to glue them down, i just want to make sure that it's ok for them to touch.

    I read that SPS dont sting so i think its ok, just want to make sure

    No it's fine but if they have growth (white tips) they can kill any other coral.
    Well that's what I've been told lol

    Don't let them touch period they can and will damage each other.

    They don't in my experience as long as they are growing. Some won't be affected but they will be doing the damage.
