Question for fast growth coral keepers ...

[Chris5]

Since this is my first tank that i have been able to actually watch some real growth on some of my corals I am excited as well as concerned Here are the issues ...

My Gsp is growing at an unbelievable rate (now more than ever since i increased the flow on it) and it already attached to 2 adjoining rocks next to it ... as well as my yellow polyps (i think that's what they are called) which has just jumped onto one of the rocks the gsp is getting slowly closer to .. so the two are getting pretty close together... what do you do in this case? Let them grow into eachother? or will they work around eachother ... Or just let em be ...? just curious is all ....and wouldn't want a warfare where one coral kills the other ...

Let them be. There may come a day that you wish you had neither in your tank. Each can reach weedlike proportions.

This maybe tru, but for now I am just amazed at how these things are happening since my other tanks in the past never had great growth like this ..

And if they get out of control which i am sure many people have had happen, time to frag :birthday:

anything can b a problem when grow to weed like proportions, however polyps,xenias,mushrooms r nitemares cause they r grow especailly fast n very very hard to get rid of.
