Is it safe for zoas to be touching sps? If the grow around it, will one kill the other? Mine aren't close but just wondering if I should plan a relocation of one of them when they do start getting too close.
I find that the zoas will grow onto the sps in some cases and the sps will start to recede. Ive also seen zoas recede from my monti. As far as zoas being in close proximity; ive read that if you dont run adequate carbon the zoas or sps may stop growing. some argue that putting them near each other will cause growth spurts. Ive run only nano tanks and have owned lots of corals. The only issue i ever had was with leather corals. Nothing grows in my tanks with leathers. One last thing. Zoas like high nutrients in most cases; sps can tolerate it, but color will be lacking. Some acros simply wont survive unless you run close to ULN. Finding a perfect medium is difficult for me in my tiny tanks.
