Compatible Neighbors
Corals compatible with Lobophyllia
Every coral below passes the reef-compatibility engine when placed alongside Lobophyllia. Verdicts account for stinging sweepers, wandering anemones, and overgrowth pressure. Cautions mean you can still keep both but should plan placement (frag plugs, separate rockwork, sight breaks).
