I'm pretty new to corals and have picked up some frags here and there. There's enough space between each coral to not worry about stinging tentacles, and for the most part SPS is at the top of the tank, then LPS, and softies are at the bottom.

My Kenya Tree has grown very quickly and a few pieces have split off and started growing in other areas of my tank. One landed right next to an SPS. Will that cause problems? Are there any potential issues you can see with this list?

Softies:
Xenia
Green Star Polyps
Gold Crown Leather (long polyp extension)
Green Striped Mushrooms
Zoanthids
Moon Polyps
Kenya Tree

LPS:
Cany Cane
Branching Hammer

SPS:
Purple Digitata
Yellow Stylophora

Allelopathy problems are hard to predict. I wouldn't be very worried at this point, but I would run carbon and watch for problems.
