Well we just got this tank that was already set up and it has alot of sps corals, and we are wanting to switch it over to mostly soft corals. So my question is are any sps corals ok to keep with soft corals or should I get rid of them all? There are 3 acros that I probably want to get rid of (they aren't looking so hot, so if you're interested let me know) and 1 montipora plate coral that will go.
I also have some lps and want to make sure they're ok as well; 1 favia, and 2 acanthastrea (one of which I would really like to keep). I have a large leather that has not extended any polps for 2 days, I moved him further away from the acros hoping that would help, and some nepthea who once I moved away from the acros are opening up and looking great. I want to get some pompom xenia, but I want to make sure i'm mixing things ok before I do.
So am I ok to keep the lps like the acanthastrea with the soft corals, and where would be the best placement for them together? Also is there a way to keep sps with soft corals safely or is it best to avoid this?
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, If I was starting from scratch I wouldn't even have most of these in the tank in the first place to worry about, any help would be awesome!
