Coral placement

[mrcoffee2]

Hello fellow reefers!

First pic
Need a little help with deciding if the mushrooms in the front row are placed appropriately. I am unsure if they will be aggressive towards each other. If not, and I can move closer; Let me know!

Second Pic
The SPS has recently started to grow like crazy and I am a little worried the LPS will fight it. Will these two be a problem? If so, I'll pop the LPS off. It has been encrusting for 2yrs so might be hard.

LPS will win against SPS, they need to be farther apart.

Ricordia does well in the sand bed, but can do better at angle up against the rock work.

Ok awesome thanks for the feedback. I'll remove the LPS.

In regards to the mushrooms I was more concerned about fighting themselves. Yuma's, Ricordias, and Fuzzy's all play nicely together?

 

[Tahoe61]

No not always. They come from very different geographical areas. Yuma are Pacific and Ricordia Atlantic and Caribbean. Ricordia tend to be hardier and Yuma difficult for most. Neither need the most intense lighting. Rhodactis can be down right nasty, does well pretty much anywhere.
Try the Ricordia at an angle.

Ok thanks, and just to be sure I am understanding what they are. Do I have this correct?

Left: Rhodactis Hairy Mushroom | Right: Yuma

Left: Ricordia | Right: Yuma

Unsure of this one. Need a little help

Is it correct to assume that the Yuma & Ricordia are similar and can be placed right next to each other? Or should they be spaced 1-3 inches apart?

The hairy is aggressive and should be place 2-3 inches away?

You also suggest angling the Ricordia on a rock face.

Your ID's are correct. The last one not sure, could be a simple Actinodiscus. Try a less blue image if you get a chance.

All your Corallimorpharia look healthy.

Ok here is one with more white.

Saint Thomas Rhodactis perhaps.

Excellent! I have never heard of that type of mushroom but since it might be of the Rhodactis family i'll be sure to keep it secluded in it's own little world. Appreciate the expertise you have provided.
