This is going to force us to learn what we have in our tank, which is a good thing!

Frogspawn should not touch mushrooms.

For sps, I found that it's best if different species don't touch each other. Same species but different colour variations can touch.

ie. Orange Montipora cap. can touch Green M. cap.

Monti. caps should NOT touch Acroporas or Milliporas.

Other types of corals should NOT touch sps.

Depending what is in your tank and what is touching what you could both be right.
