LPS gurus... can these touch at all?

You're welcome. I think they are all sitting close enough that they have passed the test, but yeah just do the touch test. They will react quite fast, but it does take them some time to do damage, so don't worry about it too much.

I think the middle one might be a gonastrea. I think there are a couple different species that get identified as favia. I have had luck with them growing fairly close though you cant really trust it.

Yeah, you're probably right about the Goni. Technically, they are all Faviidae.

i placed them into a triangle so each one was touching the other for an hour without issue. as i have the tank scaped right now they are all on seperate rocks but i am still considering moving the one on the right onto the same rock with the one on the left. they'd be able to grow quite large before ever encountering each other.

thanks for the id!
