SPS Battle! (Each other, not me)

[Formulator]

Of all the thousands of problems I’ve encountered in my reefing journey, this is by far my favorite one. Let’s call it an opportunity…

In all honesty, I’ve never trimmed a hard coral, on purpose. I’m concerned about this yellow-green staghorn. I really like the way it has grown out. Will the montis crowding it on both sides kill it, or will they work it out themselves and both keep territory long term? They are kind of swallowing the base of the acro

I very much regret putting encrusting montis in and around my acros.

I would absolutely start chipping away at those caps and not let them encroach.

IME acro always seems to win in my tanks but don’t touch the acro break away some the montis they heal up and grow faster
