SPS spacing

[jgraz]

When I originally placed these two corals, a orange cap and what I belive to be montipora spongodes. I had no idea they would end up doing this well. Now they are getting pretty close to each other. There is actually only about 1/4" between them, and they are growing fast. Will they just naturally avoid each other or should I cut off pieces. Both are very well encrusted to the rock.
Thanks in advance
John

I let them battle - watchful waiting for one to get upset or avoid- it's a fun problem to have

the cap will try to engulf the spongidies, but there is a good chance that it will be able to hold it back. I would just leave them see how thy grow together and if need be "trim".

I agree, just let them battle it out. It won't be any big deal. Neither one are that potent so it will be just a small battle where they touch.
