Toadstool Leather vs Kenya Tree?

[chooch]

So a buddy of mine had given me these tiny bits he had cut off of his kenya tree. Tried gluing them down to no avail. They floated around my tank until they merrily planted themselves RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY SUPER CONTENT LEATHER. Seemed harmless enough at the time, but now they're both growing rapidly. Not sure if you can tell from my horrible cell phone picture during tank night-night time, but these two are literally a fraction of a centimeter from each other- and who knows- maybe they already touch periodically thorough out the day...

TLDR; Who would win out in a fight? Toadstool or Kenya Tree? Leather seems REALLY happy where he is and I dont want to move him. Kenya tree cannot be moved- only cut down and im guessing he'd continue to grow back.

Sorry about the pic quality!

honestly I'd just cut the kenya down. Personally I have a kenya tree I refuse to get rid of because it was my very first coral but I've chopped it, beat it, nearly killed it and for some reason... its still alive -.- It's fragged over 20 times causing piles of kenya trees the corner of my tank... believe me you cannot kill this thing haha just keep chopping like you're a lumberjack that is super bored... BTW nice neon duncan I love mine... yours the short tentacle ORA neon?

I'm not 100%. New to reefing, don't really know the difference. Here's a pic of him happy and open. My Duncan was my first coral, so he's special to me [emoji4]
But yeah, that's what i figured. I'm probably just gonna start lumberjacking that kenya tree. Maybe I'll get a forest like you in a safe corner of the tank, haha!

yeah looks like a ORA neon duncan I love my neon but I got the long tentacle so it goes all crazy like an anenome its tripled in size in less then a month though -.- I'm gonna have to go lumberjack on it in a few more months haha

At the moment I only have 1 kenya tree frag and the big mother now as I keep 1 just in case someone would like a freebie who is local

Can i ask where you found this Long Tentacle Duncan? Also do you have a picture? It sounds interesting and would love to find one.

FYI... Instead of gluing them down, try using a rubber band and lightly strap them down to a rock. Just enough so they cant drift away.
