Compatible Neighbors
Corals compatible with Wellsophyllia
Every coral below passes the reef-compatibility engine when placed alongside Wellsophyllia. 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).
