Migrating Yuma vs Massive jawbreaker?

[myzislow]

Will these two get along or am I asking for it? From what I know yuma can be kinda aggressive, but I have no idea if these two can coexist. It's slowly getting closer and unfortunately both are off their original plugs and will be pretty much impossible to move...Anyone have any experience? I really don't want the jawbreaker to get messed up.

The yuma will most likely mop the floor with it.

From what I know, you will have chemical warfare. Get some bone cutters and cut the rock of either if you can and relocate.

Darn, not what I wanted to hear. Thanks

just remember when it comes to most corals, they can only be next to the same species. There are some exceptions like most zoas.

The jawbreaker looks like it’s already starting to lose the battle, I would hate to lose it.

They haven't touched yet. Unfortunately the rock is a main supporting piece to a larger structure. This is going to be difficult. I wonder if there is a way I can persuade the yuma away from it by way of a barrier of sorts.

Rock cutters is the best way to remove if you ask me.

I agree. You should be able to cut the Yuma off at the foot, just try and leave a part of the foot attached to a small piece of rock.

Well, decided to let them figure it out. Cutting the yuma off the rock and having it actually survive is slim to none. I can't take cutters to the rock it's on and get the foot intact. Plus my whole left scape would more than likely collapse during the surgery.

Happy to report they touch all the time throughout the day and seem to play nice. The jawbreaker barely reacts to the yuma, maybe curls its edge a bit in the area they touch but other than that nothing catastrophic to report yet. Hopefully things stay this way!

What’s the outcome on this?
