More "peaceful" SPS?

[Jflip2002]

Alright, so Ive been trying and trying to get some SPS for the top of my tank, but no LFS have any. So when looking online, they call all SPS "aggressive". Im assuming that is a relative term. Which SPS arent so aggressive, and can touch each other? I dont have much room, its only a 60g tank. So they have to be on the very top rock together, probably eventually touching.

Ive noticed Leos Formosas are touching, and they seem ok. Id really like to get a table acro branching off over the rocks if theyre not too aggressive.....

which will be fine?

It's really hard to tell which will allow touching and which won't. I would assume most of them will not tolerate another species in physical contact. I can assure you that you'll want to stay away from milliporas. I've had some colonies just take over others, and even two different colors of montipora digitata didnt cooperate (the purple killed off the yellow). Honestly, it's probably going to be a experiment to find out.

That sucks. I know my hydnophora kills anything it touches

i have 2 frags of the same sps coral touching
i think monti caps can touch each other but im not sure

It's hit or miss, but like Chris said, generally the same species will tolerate each other. That's why Leo doesn't have a bunch of dead spots, they are pretty much all formosas. Keep in mind though that most sps won't hurt anything unless in direct contact.
