Can these two favias (?) merge?

Pretty sure I got them at the same store over a year ago. I'd like to put them on the same rock. Will they get along?

If it is in fact the same DNA Coral, they will fuse together with no issues

Yes they'll be fine, but I'd put at least 6" between them and your Duncan's. They can and will kill pretty much anything that is too close to them.

Yep. My big cucumber dragged a favia next to a duncan the other day, and the favia beat the snot out of it.

Oh, damn - didn't think of that. And I love those Duncans. Started with two heads. Most thriving thing in the tank. Thanks!
