Im not saying you wont have some coral warfare going on there because you will. There are 2 kinds of reefers, those that let it go and those who frag/groom there display. If you have a place to keep the frags then I say frag it up when it comes time but alot of people dont want to deal with the hassel of setting up another tank. Also if you have a local reef group then have some people over and sell/give away what you can.

To me your spacing looks fine. I have plenty of SPS corals intertwined with each other with no issues.

Some look like they are spaced well and some look tight.

For me, I like to grow them out. If you know they have thick tabling branches, space them out. Tall and up growth can be closer.

Appreciate it. Always good to get a second opinion

Ya and that’s what learning still. Not exactly sure which ones with branch

Staghorns are thick but loose branches.
Other coral can grow under/next to them without much light loss.
Like the classic green slimer is an example. (not shown)

Ya the bonsai wants all the space. I might just cut off princess peach and move it

They meet, wall up, some recession, and still grow.
