I wouldn't get two of the same species. Why risk it? Too many other choices.

 

[MBliss81]

I agree, it's a risk you don't need to take. If you were determined to do it, though, I would make sure you break up the line of sight between one side of the tank and the other. I've read that doing that can prevent some territorial fighting.

 

[Gregcoyote]

I have a large L shaped tank where one end of the reef cannot see the other. They still migrate around and fights can still break out, so be careful what you mix.

ill prob pass then. thanks

UPDATE! got some great new additions at a recent frag swap and the best part is that i won them all in a raffle! except the torch frag and staghorn.

2 green rics
2 orange/green rics
1 pederson anemone shrimp
1 rorch frag
1 chestnut cowrie
1 staghorn hermit

I have a question about the shrimp. it is a cleaner shrimp so if i got two skunk cleaners would they all hangout and get along??

 

[iDream]

I'm not sure about your question but good luck with the staghorn, what lighting are you running again? Because if I remember this right the shell is an SPS coral.

Make sure you check the tank often too because if he falls over you'll have to put him upright

Here's. My toadstool. It's about a foot long up and down and growing more every day!

 

[Pizza101]

They get really big under good conditions, so be ready

 

[classklown90]

dream: thanks for the advice! not to sound smug but I was well aware of their problems before i bought but i waited until I found a larger one and i finally found him, ive tested him (not to hi liking lol) and flipped him several times and hes very strong and easily uprights. the shell is inded related to acropora but im confident it will be fine, if not i have a large regular shell in there that he can use. thanks for the help though, ill ob have pics up this weekend.

pizza: oh im ready lol this guy is already bigger in my tank than he was in store(prob just opened more) but hese at ast 6 inches in width, love him!

 

[Pizza101]

Congrats! Leathers are my favorite for sure. Zoos are second

 

[classklown90]

I hve to say rics are mine but leathers sure are neat! i have a cabbage leather in my biocube

 

[iDream]

I'm an acan type of guy, then probably zoas. I just dig the bright colors

 

[classklown90]

yea they are really cool too, i lied though, plate corals may be my fav. I really like them

 

[iDream]

Yeah if I could find a nice one of those I'd get one, short-tentacle only though

 

[classklown90]

Yea I found a real nice purple one at my lfs for 60. When I get the cash ill def be picking it up. Biocube lighting is enough for one? I may get one for my cube too then

 

[iDream]

It was suggested to me as a coral to keep in a cube by someone on here that is pretty reputable.

I'll edit in his name in a sec when I find it

Edit: It was pat8you

 

[classklown90]

Okay cool well ill have to try that then

 

[classklown90]

car window was smashed out and gps was stolen, this is goona set back my "tank budget" alot, no new additions for awhile :/ idiots. anyone have a answer to my shrimp question?

 

[iDream]

The peterson is a little bluish guy right? I don't think they'd hang out but I don't think they'd have problems, if they do of course seperate them

 

[classklown90]

i was hoping theyd all stick together. here is a pic of what he is
