Photos below are from today (1/11/2021). Chick Magnet milli continues with the assault but Side Chick took a surprise turn to avoid contact. No blood shed so far but we shall see.

I need to see this in person when I come in this week to pick up my auction order. I grabbed a side chick in the auction, nice piece.

It's always interesting how they know how to start turning

 

[Dal-Reef]

I have something similar going on . Going to follow along to what comes of it. It is interesting.

Imagine, they somehow fuse and you have a grafted Acro. Call it Milli’s Side Chick.

Update: Chick Magnet milli drew first blood on Side Chick. It's crazy how the milli's growth revolves around gunning for Side Chick, as if it knew to go after it as seen in a zoomed out picture below.

My money is on the milli. I've had them grow into other sps before and they seem to always prevail.

Side Chick has grown back over the stung area. It remains to be seen if this will end up in a bloodbath or coexistence.

Looking good as always Kenny @Piece of the Ocean

Update: Side Chick is mounting a comeback. The tip has darkened significantly. It's starting to form a perimeter around the tip of Chick Magnet milli.

As evidence of what geeks we are.... this is riveting... can't not watch. It's like that one time when we watched a cell under a microscope for four hours while it went through mitosis. Awesome!!

Should be fun to watch over the next month

UPDATE: Looks like they're about to arm wrestle each other. And Chick Magnet milli is calling in back up.

I cant get enough of threads like these. Its crazy that they each have their own behavior towards the contact. Did you cut the one shoot off of the chick magnet?

Didn't mean to. But I was cutting the Side Chick to avoid shading so I can keep taking pictures and accidentally knocked the milli branch off.

Overall Side Chick is a way faster grower than the milli.
