Never had 2 corals grow into each other like this. Will this be a problem?

Will this be a problem?
Hello,
It certainly can be. Often it is the Montipora that is the winner. If the corals have been next to each other for a long time (years), they will sometimes reach a truce and form a DMZ that looks like a white line. Only time will tell but with such a small frag I would move it just to be sure or trim back the encroaching coral.

Regards,
Kevin
 
I would move it fore sure. I have seen colonies bleach from such contact. I have also seen them "get along", but is it worth the risk?
