Torch,Frogspawn + Hammer........

[StringerBell]

Different types of Mushrooms seem to have no issue over-lapping each other
in my tank.

Are Torch, Frogspawn and Hammer Corals closely related enough to similiarly
place them so that their polyps come into physical contact with other?

How about Trumpet and Candy cane?

thanks again.........

yes, hammer, torch, frogspawn, anchor, octopus, and
such are all the same, and usually don't fight each
other.

Candycane, and Trumpet are the same.

How common is it for them to *not* get along? Just curious because I
put a frogspawn next to a torch and the torch got all nasty on the
frogspawn. It recovered pretty quickly but was obviously getting stung
fairly badly by the torch coral.

I've got a large hammer coral (~1ft across) next to a good sized frogspawn
(about 8in across). When they inflate during the day, their polyps seem
happy to intermingle in the current without any noticable bad effects.
