Palys and zoas will grow right onto the montipora without noticeably bothering it. Thats been happening in my tank for a few years.
The Monti should just snap right off the rock. If its old growth that fused there in the first place it should be a relatively clean break. But if your colony is small and still growing in that area it might hold on a little tighter and come off in a few more pieces.
