I was wondering about RTN'ing and waring corals. I have a lot of sps and they are starting to fill in the gaps and grow VERY close to each other.

I know that if they touch due to various reasons, breaking off, falling onto each other, some RTN or exude toxins and try to kill each other.

If they grow toward each other and eventually touch, wont the same thing happen and the whole coral becomes a loss?

I am trimming as an emergancy measure, but I want them to fill the gaps.

I've got a few SPS growing into each other, and it has never RTNed or STNed a coral. The worst that happens is it kills a local area on the coral and maybe grows over it, in my experience.
