Hi, Reefers!

Need some advice/recommendation on what to do with these two corals, they have been growing so well and they seem to avoid growing into each other. However, are these two corals too close to each other now and what would you recommend doing here?
Our thinking was let it nature takes its course, they seem not to bother each other as of yet or frag the one and have two pieces of the coral.

Also could you please help us name these two corals, they are fast growers. Blue Bird's nest? And another coral is green. -Please find attached the photos.

Final request, this aquarium has been running for around 1 year and 8 months now, any recommendations for us or how are we doing? - Please look at the YouTube links:




Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
That is milka blue Stylo. And green birdsnest. Get a set of coral pruners to manage growth. Congratulations, you are at that stage!

Thank you for the response and for identifying the coral. When we compare our green coral to other green birdsnet corals they look different, especially the polyps.

We are very proud of our reefing journey thus far! :D
 
The blue one's a Stylophora and the green one's a Hydnophora, not a birdsnest

Great, thank you! I read that Hydnophora corals are aggressive so I will have to move that blue stylophora.
