I am looking for any opinions on how to handle two coral, as seen below, coming into contact. I want the the Radioactive Dragon Eyes to spread as much as possible. Should I pair back the growth above, which spread from one polyp at the top of the rock? Or should I leave it alone?

Those palys above will most likely take over that whole rock in a matter of a few weeks along with killing the radioactive dragon eye.

Totally agree to keep the Dragon eyes you're going to have to remove the others or they'll be over taking the whole rock n more.
That's what I thought. Do you guys think I can keep the palys on top by removing any new growth towards the Dragon Eyes? I realize I would have to be vigilant, but do you regularly allow a fast grower to exist near a slow grower, with intervention as needed?

You cant be vigilant enough... they will be growing in 360 degrees. your best bet is to take those out and put them on a small island rock that is isolated from the rest of your rock assuming you want to keep them. Or the other option is to go a species only tank and just spread them around everywhere.
