Euphyllia will not hurt each other.

I have two Trachyphyllia touching each other in my tank with no negative interaction whatsoever.
I would assume the same with the Platygyra, it would be like fragging the coral and keeping the frags next to each other.

+1, "Torch" coral will torch other Euphyllias.

Be carefull when letting same species touch each other as I've seen some weird results before...but, theres only one way to find out. Just keep a close eye on it so if they do go to war, you can seperate them quickly to save the "losing" coral.
