I cant believe no one has replied. This is a pretty good question IMO.

I dont know of a site. I have always looked at the description of the coral I wanted to buy and upon reading about it you can usually see where it says aggressive or not. Thats about all I have. However, one trick I use constantly is to cruise MANY of the other salt forums including RC and look at the TOTM and the members galleries. I look for a "mature tank" and see whats going on in there as far as proximity of corals to each other. I guess Ive used that idea as much as anything. Good luck!

Im sure I dont have to say anything about LPS usually being aggressive with the sweepers.

Typically the what I do is similar to Jim. I usually let all polyps and zoas touch and then soft corals I keep a small distance, and lps a large distance. Never do I have lps and soft corals near eachother because of the chance of chemical warfare.

Shunned at Reef Builders...hahahaha impossible.

If you think I have a problem with you just Pm me. Dont think so though?

If you really feel that way I would confront that person or persons in a Pm.

Honestly there is very little here at RB to get very upset about unless someone is killing something that should not have to die or is giving advice that results in the same.
