What's growing on your backwall?

jrwoltman · Jan 28, 2018

I thought it would be fun to share what is growing on people's backwall, intentionally or unintentionally. Mine was unintentional, but I am super-psyched that they started climbing up and look forward to a complete takeover. So, share your picture and your story...

That is insanely cool! I can only imagine a whole back wall of zoas. I would post mine but all I have is one circle of corraline algae about the size of a dime.

That’s awesome. I’m happy to see that you are having zoas grow like that. I just recently got two new zoa frags that I glued the plug to the back wall and hoping they will eventually grow on the back wall.

I have clove polyps, red monti cap, cali torte, and a couple mushrooms. any time I have a frag without a home glue it to my back wall. I think it adds depth when my back is black and not purple from coralline

Coralline for me so far

Both GSP and Xenia. The left side of the tank is GSP and the right is Xenia. It seems like the GSP is growing faster and will eventually overtake the Xenia on the right hand side.

Rainbow Monti for me. It was an intentional placement but it’s growing fairly slowly. I don’t believe it is getting as much light as it wants.

Some coraline

1/2 of the back wall on my 180 is GSP and mushrooms

In my old 125 I had several nice varieties of zoas. It all looked nice until an ugly green morph appeared and took over the back wall eventually. I swore I would never do that again.
