Montipora overtaking a chalice

[recess62]

Like the title says. I have an encrusting monti which has now grown so large it has reached the base of one of my chalices and has began to grow on it. Any easy fixes?

Moving one or the other is the first choice. If the Monti has just started growing on it maybe it actually hasn’t encrusted it yet. If not movable I just chip the Monti back an inch or so every once and a while. My Sunset Monti needs to be trimmed periodically.

That looks like the DMZ in Korea.

This may seem obvious but how do you chip it
