Can millieporas grow together

Does anybody have two different millieporas growing over each other. Like a blue and a green that are mixed together. I have seen people do this with montipora caps and bridsnest but not with an acro. So if you have something like this let's see it:)

Thanks :)

Milles pack a pretty potent sting, so I would guess that the dominant specimen would kill off the other, or possibly lead to RTN of both. Unfortunately, it always seems like the uglier of the two will win the battle...
 
I've seen them grow together and it was pretty amazing.
It ended up growing up in a hybrid form, instead of killing each other.
I saw this at a local reefers house when I picked up some frags from him a long time ago.
 
Nope I have lost every one that tried.. The minute the tips touch they both start peeling and that leads to fragging to save them.... Good luck..
 
I have two growing together they're 2 green ones but one is a blue tip and the other is just plain green and so far they're no signs of stinging
