I hate asking questions that I am sure have been asked before.
I just could not find the answer. How close together can Favia frags generally be place. It may be different with different ones, so maybe Pot of Gold and Baby's Breath and Mystic Grape?

I have seen Favias with 3" feeders, +1 on watching them feed at night a few times.

My favias are at least 3" away from other corals. Even one inch frags can put out 3"+ sweepers. :eek2:

Acan lords can be right next to each other. Acan echinatas, like favias, need at least 3-4" clearance from other corals, and up current as well as down current.
