    I went to move one of these frags and found that it had grown connecting to the other one. Not all that interesting but I thought it was cool, and I was bored, and had nothing better to do, felt like wasting time, putting off some house cleaning, and dinner.

    that's pretty cool I didn't know they did it so casually. I have seen people splice different color ones together for a pretty cool look.

    I am glad I am not the only one that was unaware they did it so easily. I have seen montis that were made to grow together, but not anything else. Glad I took some photos and shared it.

    Cool shot, I think if the corals are the same species they will likely do that.

    yeppp! but it is highly dependent upon the species of coral... only some will do it.
    most branching acros and montiporas will ;)
