Gsp coral placement

[REEF91]

I have a flat rock the size of my palm full of Gsp can I take this rock and glue it to the back glass of my tank ? Or should I cut it off the rock with a razor place and glue it to the back glass ? If more of the rock is touching the glass than coral will the Gsp still find its way to sticking to the glass ??? Or should I leave it leaves up against the glass like I have it and wait for it to do its thing ? I just added it about three days ago so still closed up

I mean trashcan jokes aside you can just leave it. It will grow into the glass no problem.

You don't need to glue it to the back. If you just gently rest it so one of the growing edges of the gsp is touching the glass it'll grow there itself

Same question, also another question.....would cutting into smaller fraggs, and gluing these with space between to the back wall be significantly faster?...so they join up later.....or iscthis begging it to take over?

It would be faster… literally first person I’ve ever heard asking to make GSP grow faster.

I would just let it grow on that rock island for now. Once fully grown (which is fast) you can put next to the glass and it will climb and spread. Then you’ll come back and ask how to eradicate them! lol

GSPs are very invasive — don’t let it grow on other structures.

Lol I know, It was completely covering the rock I bought it on, threw it on the sand bed and kinda forgot about it lol I think it's lulled me into a false sense of security

GSP grows like a weed. Are you trying to get the back glass covered in it?
