euphilia question

[greeleyram3]

Hey guys I don't know if this sort of a dumb question or not but have to ask ! Can you put you put the same species of euphilia together in touching range even if there from a different colony? Or will they fight to the death ha? Interested in putting my frogspawn together. Or even like a hammer and a frogspawn?

Excellent article:

Still, as I mentioned at the beginning, many euphyllid species can touch each other without issue. Oddly enough, specimens of E. ancora, E. paraancora, E. divisa, and E. paradivisa can be arranged so that they not only touch at times, but have their tentacles intermeshed with each other's. So, it's possible to create a very beautiful and unique setting in an aquarium if different species with different looks are placed together. Trying to do so with the other species is very risky, though. While a few hobbyists have successfully mixed specimens of E. glabrescens in with these others, this almost always ends badly. I don't know of any cases of the remaining species being placed with those above either, and found nothing online suggesting it has been accomplished successfully. So, I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to take big chance and keep a very close watch for any troubles.

Thanks for sharing that article Jeremiah. I had been told that hammer and frogspawn could be next to each other, but I'm always very cautious with what I hear and how I act on it.
