Acros kill acros? :(

[Leadfooted]

I recently lost a colony of Ora Frog Skin Acro when my Oregon Blue Tort grew into it. It was apparent suicide because the Tort died as well. I see tanks with Forrest’s of sticks all getting along just fine. I’m about to add several more acros including my first WD and hoping someone can chime in on what Acro species get along With each other? Was this a freak thing or can Acro kill Acro? Thank you for any help!

Some pack bigger sting than others. Sometimes when corals fall, I just leave them to see what happens. As long as I don't see to many stingers reaching I just let them do their thing. Given the chance most softies will kill off your acros. So keep those away too. I have a few growing over each other. I'll send a pic when lights come on

Sometimes they will kill each other, sometimes they will come to a peace. I had a cali tort, rainbow monti, and a bright green acro (unsure of species) grow into each other. They all fought and had some die off, and then stopped growing into the direction of each other, but continue to grow other ways.
