Warfare between different Euphyllia species

Just bought a hammer coral from a hobbyist. Placed it about 1.5 - 2 inches away from a frogspawn coral. Being of the same family, would they co-exist peacefully? Or being of different sub-species, would the more aggressive euphyllia specie sting the less aggressive one? Does anyone know?

Thanks

all, except torch, have no problem touching each other

cheers

Thanks to all who have answered my queries. For my sake, I hope they are right in saying that different euphyllia species can co-exist peacefully. So far, although the two corals have not touched each other, there is also no sign of trauma in either coral. Hopefully, it will stay that way.

all euphyllia can touch each other.

even torch coral with other euphyllia.

occasionally a freak incident may happen where they may fight but that's only temporarily and only one or two tentacles.

interspecies is ok.
