can favia be near each other?

[abirozy]

Hello

I have picked up several favia frags. Not the exact same one, but different favia species. I have a purple maze, balders gate, raptor, alien eye, etc....

QUESTION

1) Can I put the frags close to each other? I know in general that corals of the same type can touch... i.e. zoa's, scan's, etc... Is this so with favor's? Will the sweeper tentacles from one favia hurt a different favia if they touch?

Thanks

Adam

It's kind of hit or miss with favia, I have heard some people say they work fine, and others say they go to war with each other, to be on the safe side, I would wait until the sweepers are longest at night, and keep them out of reach of that.
