SPS Wars...

OK, so I'm becoming overgrown. I have a couple of situations where the colonies are grown to the rock, and now competing for space. I had one a couple of weeks ago entirely RTN on me, and it had GROWN to the neighboring colony. Here are a couple of photos. Recommendations? One shows an acro vs. a cap. They are all intertwined now.

NO!!!!

lol it will be ok..... just look at it as a haircut....

sometimes they will work it out on their own and sometimes that means that one will kill its neighbor. not usually the case, but it happens. that is why i prune my colonies - better than losing one to a territorial dispute.

OK. Out with the snippers on Saturday... The cap/acro might be difficult.

Same experience here. Sometimes they have a truce for a long time and then boom one will rtn without warning. Caps always beat acros IME.

Yeah, Richard, that's what happened a couple of weeks ago to one of those SW "frags". It was about 4". BOOM. It went overnight. When I pulled it out, it was attached to another colony.
