Battle or not, if so which will win

[paraletho]

I have an orange Lobo which is being encroached upon by a colony of Ricordea. I can move either one but they are both happy and growing so if I don't need to why do it. I know Lobo in general is pretty tough and has a pretty potent sting. But an old friend and LFS owner used to call mushrooms of any kind creeping anenomes and said they were a scourge and to be careful.

I would leave them be. Now, time for pictures.

My money is on lobo. They can defend themselves. Lobos will fight each if they feel threatened. I had several do major damage to others. They can spit insides out a few inches like an echinata. However unlike an enchinata attack. The other coral may survive.

I lost an Acan to an orange Yuma...so I'd bet on the ricordea

Sorry about the poor pics, but I think you can see the yuma "hugging" the acan and how far it had to reach to do so.

Acan head was down to skeleton in under 24hrs

They were really expanded the other day and it looks like the ricordea left a blister on the Lobo. I'm gonna play it safe and move them. Like everyone else in this hobby I am running out of room.
