Mounting multiple frags together?

[Rpc07]

is it possible to mount multiple frags of the same coral together? Will they grow into each other and encrust together or is this a crazy idea?

Same coral will work. You can put them together.

As long as they are the same, they will do fine.

I've done many times. I made a bunch of birdsnest coral frags and had them all next to each other on my frag rack, and a couple weeks later I went to pick one up and they are all stuck together. The tips were touching and they just connected to each other. I now purposely avoid putting them too close to each other to keep that from happening when I dont want to.

Also, that's how grafting works. Different colors of the same species are cut and allowed to grow into each other.

Your results should be very similar to this:

woke up this morning to this and they definitely weren’t that close . All their tentacles are still out and there’s a bunch of white stuff in between the two like a goop they’re formed ‍
