This is my meteor shower. It's starting to grow really fast and stung my orange setsosa and one of my sps bases.
Here is my fix. Once it grows onto the rock I can pop them off and sell frags of it. By next month this should be fully covered.

Lets see ur pic of overgrowth solutions.

It's closed bc I just glues those two rocks to the right side of it

I usually let them go at it......unless its like a no name about to burn a high dollar coral. Then I usually break out the flat head screw driver and chisel away. If there's anything salvageable Ill glue to a disc or plug.
 
I do the same thing with gluing plugs/rubble/tiles next to an encrusting coral to get good frags. However I also use the screwdriver method on a monti of mine that grows like a weed...
 
Yeah, I try to create a barrier with some rubble. It works especially well if you can create a dark spot where the corals don't want to grow.
