I'md err on moving the frogspawn towards the zoas and mushrooms rather than the galaxy. I'd give the galaxy a wide bearth, especially one it detects the frogspawn close by it'll put out the sweepers and start messing the frogspawn up.

2 inches of clearance wont really cut it for a frogspawn as they grow to be huge ,same with the galaxy plus the galaxy's sweepers are powerful stuff

Galaxy corals have an extremely potent sting. In the pet store I worked at I a cut galaxy coral sweeper tentacle over 8" long coming from a colony smaller then 5" round. It was also just about closing time (lights off) so I think it just started extending and might have been longer. We hardly ever brought them in because of the sweepers, almost every galaxy we had sweepers to one extend or another.
