What soft corals cannot touch?

I have :
Cabbage
Toadstool
Sinularia
Finger
Few other softies.

Can all softies touch? I have a few growing big enough that they are getting close.

I think they'd be fine, but time to take out the little fragging knives and krazy glue! Look up the frag techniques for each type of coral you have, glue them to small LR rubble or plugs, and trade them into your LFS for store credit. =)

I'm not a fragger, I like colonies not frags

Any other input on this?

No. Not all softies can touch. Your finger and sinularia might have issues, and teh toadstoll will get beaten up by teh sinularia

Which ones can? Which ones are the most aggressive?

Thanks!

I think he means frag the big ones that are touching if you don't have any more space in your tank. I have to frag my leathers every so often to keep them from taking up too much space. I agree though, I heart the colonies.

Well I could move them but if they can touch I wouldn't. Is it ok if the same species touch like toadstool to toadstool, finger to finger etc etc etc.
