Will Live Rock Fuse Together?

I have a setup of live rock. I was wondering if the various rocks, which are stacked, will eventually fuse together.

Corals and algae of different types will cover the rocks but as far as the rock actually fusing together, no it will not.

To fuse rock would take molten lava.
I think Aquafin sells an in-home volcano for $199 that will do that for you, but it's really a pain since you're always changing the filters.

I suppose if you had some hard growth, in an older tank, it could grow on to another rock thus attatching them.
Not firm attatchment, you would likely break the little growth off by picking up just one rock.
But if you're worried about moving your LR once you upgrade to a new tank, that's no biggie. The only worry there is to make sure the happy little things on the rock are still facing the light like they were before, and that they don't get squished during the move.
That would stink if all your LR fused.
