I have/had three Montipora Digitatas of different varieties growing next to each other and this is what I have seen/am seeing: The "forest fire" outgrew and enveloped the "green" without notable injury to the green while this was happening. The "German blue" is encroaching on the forest fire and causing tissue loss and damage to the forest fires in doing so.

A few non-scientific photos (keep in mind a have fragged a number of branches off for one reason or another, including trying to save the corals from each other):

Very cool. I like monti digi a lot to but they have been covered by the birdsnest. I just let the corals figure out their own space on the reef but some branches have shaded out.
