This is a list of what Ive got in the tank now

and Im just wondering just for info what would sting/shock what

 

Ive seen soo many beautiful reefs here and some of the coral have no space at all inbetween the pieces, Im wondering if I can do the same

 

Ive got

hammer coral

frogspawn coral

open brain coral

blue mushroom

green button polyps

crocea clam

pink flowerpots

feather duster

 

basically Im just wondering what will attack what first like if I put the frogspawn really close to the mushroom what will the outcome be??

Or in a battle between frogspawn and mushroom what will kill what.

 

or maybe the question is better asked "whats the order of stinging power" ie.. the hammer will kill the frogspawn which will kill the mushroom, which will kill the buttons,etc..

 

Ive searched but all Im finding is stuff like "be careful with frogspawn, dont put it too close to other corals because it will sting the other coral and could kill it" but I want to know who will win a battle of stinging power

 

and how bout aptasia? am I okay if the open brain touches the aptasia

The general pecking order is:

 

LPS kills all

 

Mushrooms, stars and polyps coexist but kill SPS

 

Sps are wimpy losers

 

Leathers can trump LPS with chemical warfare if upstream of LPS

 

Clams/featherdusters have no sting

Smokin-Reefer

i wouldn't suggest the crocea for 96w of pc's, plan on getting a mh in the VERY near future. If it is small it may get by for awhile because they rely on food rather than light for nourishment.

hth.

hammer and frogpawn can go together...same family...mine are touching.

 

aiptasia needs to go...else that's all you'll have.

 

mushrooms and polyps you'll have to trim/frag..eventually. stars too. they're kinda prolific... least in mine they are....
