Chalice Coral + Montipora

[RaymondL]

I didn't factor in space needed for a Montipora that I picked up long ago and it has spread quite nicely but to the point of almost touching a Chalice. I think maybe the Chalice is stinging it.....these 2 coral types don't mix correct?

My thought is to chop off the Montipora where it's getting close to the Chalice.

Welcome to montipora. Your going to be trimming it back quite frequently. Chalice corals do sting so eventually you will be trimming both to keep a safe distance.
