Galaxea Placement

So...I went out to buy a green mandarin, and while at the LFS, I ended up getting a chunk of Galaxea as well. :mrgreen: I know Galaxea is really aggressive and that its sweeper tentacles are extremely long, and I was wondering about where to place it in the aquarium. Is it better to try and segregate the galaxea with its closest neighbors (within 5") being "peaceful" corals (i.e. Montipora; Leather Toadstool), or would it be better to place it near (within 4") from a frag of Frogspawn and hope the two corals stick to the their respective territories?
 
Thanks again guys. I think I found the Galaxea a nice home where it can't get to any other corals. ;) So far I haven't seen the sweeper tentacles get any longer than 3-4 inches, but I put the Galaxea kind of in the back of the aquarium so that it can't reach anything just to be safe.
