So I need some help deciding on what corals on want to grow on my back panel. Right now I put a monti cap on there but I'm leaning towards mostly encrusting corals with different types of chalices and monti's and a few acros possibly too. Looking for people's different ideas on the types to put on there and any other types of corals that would work well other than gsp or pulsing xenia. Thanks for any input. Here's a short vid I just took showing what's visible of the back panel which I'm aiming to have covered in corals.

The picture is not showing up for me. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem too and that is why they are not responding.
 
Here is my overflow for some examples.

Encrusting Monti’s work well, but Zoas and star polyps also work. I have rainbow setosa sunset and mystic all growing on the back wall of my tank

Lots of options. I find Cyphastrea works really well as it seems to grow fast and is less picky about lighting than many corals and even often does well in very low lighting

Ya I have a large colony on the left of my tank and a piece of it is already planned for the back but thanks for the idea as I didn't even think of buying some different types. Keep the ideas coming as I feel it's gonna end up with all types of different corals for a unique look.
 
Cover back wall with firework clove polyps? I like flowy things
I love clove polyps that is an awesome idea, only problem is and this is kinda funny, I can keep basically any coral alive and thriving but clove polyps are my achilles heel, although I havnt tried any in a few years, gonna add them to the list regardless.
