I tend to buy bigger corals vs small frags so I don’t add more than 1 or 2 at a time. If you have space, it probably doesn’t matter much. Corals are a low bio load I believe.

Have you seen the tanks that look like wall to wall corals and are thriving? I wouldnt worry until something start to show side effects from any type of "war"

Vince,
Happy birthday. As stated above, corals add little bioload if they are healthy and tank is mature enough to support them.

I looked at your tank history and I find little description of your system. I assume tank was started in May 2020 and tore down in August due to Cynobacteria. You have a new biological ecosystem that should be more mature before making large purchases of livestock.
