Yellow Polyps compatability with other corals????

[SeanySean]

Hi all,

I am deciding on what corals to add to the tank and have been wondering about what corals can grow together without killing each other for space, I currently only have smooth mushrooms and yellow polyps, I bought these together on the same piece of rock about 3 months ago and they have been fine growing next to each other, although the polyps do close when the mushrooms spread out, but that is to be expected

Does anyone know what I can add next to the yellow polyps as these are rapid growers to say the least?

With the mushrooms. I was thinking of just getting more mushrooms of different colours and cultivating them on the same rock?

Also what combinations of corals do people have at the moment - literally growing together - this is the way I want to move forward?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice,

Sean

Any polyp can grow next to eachother and even touch without problems. Same goes fro shrooms, ricordia.

I have shrooms, xenia, and leathers growing together at the moment.

Yellow polyps have a sting. It is a mild sting. I doubt they could win in a battle with LPS. My concern would be them overgrowing and choking something out. I have some and they are as you said, some prolific little buggers.

so if I get a few more polyps I can start populating one part of the tank with various colours when you say same as shrooms and ricordia do you mean individual species can mix or all these are compatible?

- Does the xenia do ok with the shrooms or does it grow over it? as I know xenia grows very fast?

mcary - have yours spread out towards any other corals? or are they by themselves?
