I recently got some new lights for my tank, and my corals are exploding with growth. This is great news overall, but I'm a bit concerned about one thing: some of the corals seem to be pushing aggressively up against others. Specifically, I have a bam bam zoa that looks like it's crowding out a blue ricordea. (Pictures attached.)

Is this something to worry about? Will the bam bam harm the ricordea with its fast growth? Or will it eventually stop spreading when it runs out of real estate? And if this is a problem, what can I do about it?

Congrats on the new growth, looks amazing! In my experience zoas typically grow until they run out of real estate. I've never had them overrun other corals.

Appreciate your reply. Will just let them go for the time being.
