Hi folks.
My tank is finally growing in to the point where I have to start worrying about corals growing into each other. Since this is my first go at this I wondered what would you guys do in this situation? Any suggestions?
The first is an acan echinata that is right next to a RBTA. I love where they both are and my clownfish call this nem home. Is it safe to leave these alone hoping they’ll settle next to each other or should I start thinking about moving one? You can see where the nem is already stinging the acan on the bottom left. I don’t want it to die so I’ll move the rock it’s on if I absolutely have to.
Next this monti cap is starting to grow into my hammer. They’re about an inch away from eachother now and the monti seems to want to grow in that direction. Should I frag a chunk off of the monti? Will one kill the other or will they eventually start growing in different directions?
Finally, I have a few acans and stilos/birdsnests up top that you can see in the previous photo. They haven’t grown into each other yet but when they do how close can I let them get before having to frag them?
thanks so much for the info!
