I would like to know if I can put a green Finger leather touching a same size 7 inch Kenya tree with a 6 inch Toadstool leather on the same rock?

I have different leather corals touching each other all over my tank and there isn't really any harm.
But adding a toadstool to the mix might not work out. They usually grow faster than others and will create a big shadow over the others.

Thank You, I just started a reef/fishtank again after 18 years and wow things have changed a lot! We use to try to take out the bristle worms back then, now I'm told to leave them in to clean the substrate? I learn something new everyday, Thank You for the information it is Greatly appreciated! This is what my 30 looks like after 1 1/2 years so far, sorry but I forgot more then I did 20 years ago! The second photo is my daughters tank I set up for her last Christmas (36 bow) Both doing well! Thank You again!!

Kenya trees are the devil. You couldn't kill them with a nuclear bomb lol. Nah, should be fine.

I know right, as I remember they like dirty water but I think my water is too clean now because of my refugium. I grow in the tank green grape caulerpa to harvest for the refugium every 2 weeks or so. Thank You H.A.! --- P.S. I use to grow so many Kenya's to clean the water and put in the refugium also now I can't get them to grow any Ideas?

If I had to guess, your water is too clean. Softies like dirtier water. I had a Kenya tree that turned into 500, a long time back. I couldn't frag it enough.
