Meteor shower vs acro's

[Werbo]

As a general rule what happens when a encrusting meteor shower cyphastrea grows to the base of an acropora? Will the cyphastrea grow over the acro or will the acro win the battle?

I think it depends on the arco. Some are a lot stronger than others.

So as a "general rule" does that mean that the meteor shower overpowers the acro?

Generally yes. Encrusting types are stronger in most cases.

Meh... again, what kind of acro? I've had some across absolutely whoop encrusting corals before.

I am re-scaping. The Meteor shower is already their and covers 1/4 of the large rock. Not sure what acro's will eventually be mounted on the same rock but sooner or later they are gonna meet

I would epoxy over the meteor shower. That way you don't have to worry about it killing your acros.
