Soft corals for the most part don't have a sting. But most LPS do. That being said as long as you put them far enough away from each other you'll be fine.

Yes, I was asking the op. I thought he was asking in "general" can different corals be kept in the same tank.

so i can keep all corals together just depending on what it is should keep a distance between them if they are the same types of corals like sps can be kept with sps and lps can be kept with lps and so on?

No usually only corals of the same species can be kept together. Like acan lords together, euphyllia together except torches , zoas together and so on but definitley do research before hand. Some corals even of the same species will sting each other and that's no fun lol.
