Fast spreading polyp deathmatch

[Tzwizzle]

If you had GSP, pulsing xenia, zoas, glove polyps, and anthelia on a decent sized rock would one species take over? Do these corals typically only cause problems in mixed reefs where they can shade SPS and LPS? Essentially wondering if the mentioned corals will grow over each other and you'll essentially be left with one species or will they settle into their space and keep each other in check.

Mushrooms would kill them all eventually. Barring corralimorphs I'll vote for GSP.

Anthelia take over everything

If you like the look of pulsing Xenia, the best bet for not destroying a tank would be the white Pom Pom variety. I had it, and it grows slowly and doesn't spread as crazy as the brown and silver stuff

i too tend to think the anthelia will win the battle...but the blue cloves will pop up elsewhere...

So I guess my question is will these corals grow over each other? Or will fast growing softies keep each other in check?

the anthelia will choke the rest out...
