what can i grow on my back wall?

[lazycouch]

hey guys i was just wondering if it was possible to grow anything other than gsp on the backwall? can you basically put any coral on a plug and stick it back there as long as it meets its necessary requirements? any 2 cents helps. thanks!

I’ve always thought of zoas or plating monti on back glass. Would be interesting to see if anyone has any pics of things growing on the back

GSP works for a nice flowing background and is cheap

This is the end of my weir box, it might be on the back glass as well now.

i grew a sunset monti and a cyphastrea on the back wall in my last tank. now that i've taken that tank down and am cleaning it i kinda regret it as the glue won't go away lol. it looked cool tho

I’ve always wondered wether i could decorate snails with zoas or gsp. Got the idea from my tuxedo urchin a couple of years ago when i caught him out the corner of my eye giving darth maul frag a piggy back across my tank.

Wow, that is impressive.
How long did that take?
Did you glue them all at the same time?

About 1.5 years. I put them all on at the same time except the green and multi-color one amount 9 months ago.

[mitch91175]

Those did well enough to make me put one on the glass that’s spreading too

Cyphastrea a common coral that when grown out looks really good. Lots of coral out there that people over look.
