Coral placement too close?

[tee89]

Hi R2R folks,

I need some advise in regards to placement, are these frags too close to each other? will they attack each other, specifically the poci and the forest fire. cheers

They won’t for a while, but they grow and it’s a never ending problem to be honest

I do trim/frag them from time to time, but also to some extent it’s survival of the fittest…

Id also be careful adding corals in such an early stage of the tanks life you will find yourself with Algae covered Corals soon enough.

Yes, the tank was covered with GHA, got it under control now. Diatoms are definitely still present, not doing much just letting the tank run its course.

gotcha, so just leave them? I do have space to move them apart

I do yes, and ‘prune &/or move’ as need be

Get yourself a good cuc to help keep new algae growth in check.
