Trimming acro or leave it alone?

[Dkmoo]

Hi All, my tank has reached an age where the acro colony is starting to crowd each other. What are your experiences with either "letting them figure it out" alone and grow/mix naturally? Or do you start trimming? Aesthetically im ambivalent bc its a nice mix of colors but just wondering from a health and long term stability perspective which is better.

Also, if trimming, what tools do you recommend bc some of the branches are hard to reach.

Thanks!

One of my many tanks, angels and triggers would "trim" my acros before they had a chance to get too big
