Hey everyone, I am still newer to the coral business and this coral has been growing great and getting bigger. My question though it will this coral continue to keep growing into the rock shown into the picture, and potentially start tipping itself over? Or will it stop itself from growing those branches and keep growing out the other directions? I didn’t think of this when I first placed it there 4 months ago and it has grown significantly since. Any input would be great, thank you.

Eventually you'll need to trim it as it will keep growing. Watch out for buds growing throughout the tank, that looks like pocillipora. The coral looks great.
 
if I were you, id take the pocillopora out of the tank asap before it has some polyp bailout then you are stuck with 158792857434 little baby frags of it killing your other corals. happened to me how i know....
