Setosa is technically a Montipora so kind of an odd question. Between the pokerstar and the setosa, I'd say the pokerstar would win just due to the rate of growth.
 
The setosa (monti also) isn't as aggressively encrusting so I bet it will get grown over some, but it's better at growing up so maybe can live too?
 
Given that they are both montis maybe they'll end up in a coral version of a cease fire...And respect each other's border?

Or they'll grow into each other and create a grafted version. Then you could name it and sell it for huge sums of money. What would you name it?

Setosa with green polyp? That would be the dream.

I edit the title to be species correct ... can't change the poll item though.
 
They made contact, and the pokerstar (nodosa) is kicking ass. The setosa lost 1/4" of flesh from contact point. I'll have to cut back the pokerstar as I like setosa better.
