Encrusting montipora together..

[JDJP]

I glued some monti cap skeleton together and attached that to a rock out away from my main structures.

I want to put my superman, sunset, and mystic sunset out on the cap skeleton. And some acros on the rock.

I am wondering what will happen when the montis meet? Will one just cover the other?

Does anyone have a similar situation in their tanks or have pictures of it?

Here's some pics of what happens.

They will fight. I'm going to say they will be almost equal matched. You will have some slime where they meet in the mornings. One may try to grow upwards and over the other but growth tends to slow down where they fight.

Just took these today. One usually overpowers the other. Its not a very fast process though.

Mystic Sunset Vs Rainbow

Purple Haze Vs Superman

Purple Haze Vs UWW Sunburst
