Zoe's toxic to Acro's

If you have too many zoes is it toxic to Acro's ??

Soft corals can release toxic chemicals that affect other corals. How many zoas is too many is a relative question. Skimming, carbon, and waterchanges can affect the impact.

Although I have no acros I have a montipora getting overgrown by zoanthids. It's an ongoing battle and the outcome is not yet clear.

Agu,I have no acros at this time,I just heard that if you have a lot
of zoas it can affect acros.But if I do I'll keep the water changes
and carbon in check. Thank You.

Have you seen Melev's tank?

I'd say running carbon is your best bt as AGU said. For any softie tank for that matter it's good practice.
