Hi I am new to saltwater tanks we have a fish and coral tank. We are enjoying it very much but would love it if we can get any help or suggestions on it as much as possible. Is there anywhere we can get info on our coral as to where to put them in the tank and if they can go next to each other. We have had some die off. I think because the were next to one that it didn't like but how do I know that... Who plays nice in the tank ground ...lol with each other. Any help out there????
please

We would more than happy to help figure out proper placement with you. Please snap some pics and we can help identify the corals and help prevent future losses.

And welcome to MAAST!!

If the pics came thru as you can see I had (had) until yesterday a white touch coral and then I put a green one next to it it did not last two days even when I asked the guy at the store if I can put them together he said yes but the green one melted away. There is just a little bit left on it is there any way to save it. I did move it away so they can't touch.
