Barricading Cyphastrea with Zoas and Mushrooms

[TateLitts]

I have some cyphastrea I’d love to cover a portion of my scape, but I understand it can take over and be a pain to remove.

Anyone think zoa colonies and mushrooms would work as a barrier between the cyphastrea and the rest of the main rock? I’ve had mushrooms cause meltback of acans and chalices with only a few seconds of contact.

My branching cyphastrea has been overgrown by Zoas. I’d be careful about what Zoas are put close to it if you try it.
