Besides these, what corals will grow on glass?

[Just John]

I am thinking of making one side of the tank a sort of coral wall. Xenia, GSP, zoas/palys and mushrooms all grow on glass. What else will?

Favias would be an easy one for me. It sounds like they would work. Is that correct?

Tad bit late but I suggest blastos and micromussas

How should I think through growing coral this way? Encrusting corals, GSP, etc will stay flat against the back glass (2D). But acros will grow outward (3D). Will that affect flow? Ability to access the back of the tank ( say for maintenance)?

I have hydnophora and Galaxea growing on my back wall and it’s awesome!

Don't do GSP!! It grows way too fast and can take over even filter boxes as u can see. Pretty but invasive. If you use it, be sure to give it a good "waxing" regularly. Hahaha
