So this might seem like an odd or stupid question, but here it goes. I always see those heavily stocked sps tanks, and notice that the corals almost touch or even seem to overlap. I have kept sps and lps in my tanks but never had them stocked enough to worry about them getting too close, and was just curious if there is an issue with the corals declaring war on each other? And what is the key to getting the corals to act neighborly while being so heavily stocked? If any of that makes sense I would appreciate any feedback. And if it doesn't make sense let me know and I will try to clarify.

Thanks,
Brandon

its all up to you , But a nice 4-5" space allowes the corals to grow before touching and stinging eachother. You want your corals to be healty and in there udult stage before they get to close, If there too small and weak one can dye.
