A Pink Lemonade and a Five Hundred Dollar Efflo, as well as a Garf's Bonsai and a Green Acro's bases that are encrusting the rock they're on are about to touch. What will happen when they do? Should I do anything? Will one kill the entire coral? I placed them so that they would not grow into each other but they are encrusting more than I ever thought they would. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
 
One will probably start to grow over the weaker one a little bit after it kills the area where its touching. It wont kill the whole coral or anything. It may also just stop growing right at the point where they almost touch. Just let them do their thing. Its going to happen at some point as your corals grow out.
Its more dangerous if one coral tips over onto another.
 
If nothing else, you can frag off the sections that are about to touch, mount them on a plug, let them heal, and sell them locally.
