Will zoas choke each other out?

[SamMule]

I bought this frag and it has 2 types on it. The center ones are awesome, but they are surrounded by these other ones.

Will the little red ones choke the others out?

Likely, yes. Or could be the opposite. Green choke out the orange

Should not. As many know, I have many 150+ head colonies and a couple of zoa gardens

I ask because I would love to have a rock full of the green/orange ones. The others are just ok. If the red ones will inhibit growth, I may have to do some fragging

Depends on if one type grows significantly faster than the other. They'll definitely compete for space, so, if you want a lot of one type but not the other, I'd agree that you might want to do some fragging.

They’ll compete but not “choke” out each other the flesh will grow over in between zoas and one will infiltrate the other. I have had Yellow Parazoanthus polyps that may or may not have been stinging other polyps but couldn’t confirm.
