What usually happens when encrusters start growing too close?

[gsw0716]

I have a Miami Hurricane chalice and Favia, who were both slow growers, so I have them both on a rock apart from each other. They're both starting to take off in growth and starting to get a little close to each other. Who would normally win this battle? Or will they both grow around each other?


Thanks.

I'm going to assume the Hurricane will win. Favias are fairly aggressive but not usually as aggressive as Chalices are.

Would you suggest trying to move them asap?

Up to you. My Hollywood Stunner can get sweepers out around an inch to an inch and a half. My Favias usually send out half inch to one inch sweepers.

I agree.
There is going to be a battle and I'm betting on the chalice to win.
