Do you ever frag coraline? I'd like to buy a fragpack to speed up the process in my tank please =)

And what about this war/battle? What happens if you don't do anything? When your colonies touch or get close is the damage localized to that area? Or can the entire colony be at risk? And what do you do about encrusting colonies getting close to the base of other corals?

Sorry for a million questions but in a tank as small as mine I don't need incredible growth like yours to start pushing it...
For the most part the damage is local but I have a couple of colonies that have decided to give up fighting and lay down and die....those 2 were not only under multiple attacks but they were also no longer getting enough light.
I frag coraline all the time, just today I pulled out huge clumps of the branching stuff...they feel like brillo pads

As far as encrusting corals touching? It's a dog eat dog world in my tank....I have a rainbow monti that is climbing up the branches of a montipora confusa.....the acropora have stopped the rainbow monti dead in it's tracks though
