Wow Ivan those are some very nicely coloured acros. I'd love to learn more about your tank.

1. What is the filtration? ie refugium/GAC/GFO/Biopellets etc?
2. Are you using reactor or dosing 2 part? If 2 part which brand?
3. Can you please provide a fish list?
4. What is size of the display tank?
5. What do you feed the fish/corals daily?

Thanks and apologies for the questions...but your corals look awesome so I'm interested.

I always try to trim back corals or move them if they start to touch. If the encrusted bases are already touching, that may be a sign that they're too close to each other and their branches will eventually grow into each other. You could just elevate one a bit higher than the other and slightly over to discourage the encrusted bases from growing into each other.

I know what to do I just want to see how they do it and how long till they kill each other or stop at one point!
Will see:)

So far the green one is winning !!!

Haha gotcha. I have lots of corals touching in my tank. One usually wins out over, usually the more aggressive growing one or one with longer polyps. Good luck with the war games!
