What happens when two sps cross each other?

Im thinking about putting sps coral very close to each other in my next project tank. Just wondering, what happens when they grow and hit each other? Will they sting each other, wrap around, go opposite directions, etc

Any of the above are possible depending on species and figuring out what is going to happen is part of the fun

Rich i can tell you from my own experience that red planet acro will sting sunset monti, and the monti will recede. Also both of those corals will sting birdsnest. Yet red planet and green slimer are at a standoff, no stinging of each other and growth in the sliver of area between the two has stopped.

Ahh okay. I just assumed all sps wouldn't sting each other, excluding montis
