Acropora & friends

I purchased a purple-tipped one and have placed it near a singularia, and button polyps will eventually grow by it's base. Is this placement ok? Thanks in advance. :?:

Whats a singularia?

green finger leather.

Make sure you are running carbon because I think hard and soft corals will release chemicals have a chemical war in you water and the carbon should take care of it
Someone correct me if I am wrong

I have 2 cups in the sump along with 4 Chemi pure.

I can't grow SPS in my mixed reef, I dont know if its the fish or all the softies and I do run a carbon, rowaphos, carbon mix in a phosban reactor.

I wouldnt let my SPS grow anywhere near the zooanthids, as they will grow up the base eventaully irritating the SPS. The sinularia shouldnt be a problem as long as you keep it downstream so any toxins, or the skins they can shed every so often dont get to the SPS before they go over the overflow.

Good luck with your new coral.

The most immediate problem is the sinularia will get big and start crowding the sps. The immediacy of that will depend on how close you mean when you say close.

I keep zooanthids of the main rocks; once they get loose amongst sps they can be hard to control and damaging to the sps. If you just intend to have 1 or 2 sps in the tank then that's less of an issue.

The singularia is big already, It's one of my orig. corals. It's about 6" away,and parallel to the acropora. I guess I should move the polyp rock away?
