coral for back glass?

[wfo115]

Is there a hardy coral that will stick on glass. Maybe zoos or something. If so how would you attach them.

gsp or zoos work well

^ +1 to the GSP, they will adhere themselves, simply place a clump in proximity to the wall, and they will begin growing up it.

I've seen xenia growing up the back glass of a tank before. May get messy eventually though.
But it would grow fast.

+1 to xenia grows like a wildfire in Cali...what's GSP ? and with zoos how do you get them off the rock and on the back wall ? and after you get them off just glue with underwater glue for fragging or epoxy them to the wall and they grow up ? thanks i don't usually frag unless the species are ill.

GSP = Green Star Polyp

! Never seen Zoas on glass, though they will adhere themselves to plastic overflows and PVC pipe, so curious myself on that one.

Ive seen zoas on glass before...
at Shedds aquarium there was a tank that had one side of it completely covered in zoas.

Zoos are a soft coral...

GSP works very well, by simply leaning a frag of it up against the glass it will grow up towards the light attaching itself to the glass.

Xenia have no problem what so ever attaching to glass. Mine go straight to the top (20") in about 2 weeks once they touch it.

My vote is GSP. I've actually put my rock of GSP next to my back glass and it looks like it's starting to go up the glass.

xenia will do it GSP will too.... But wouldnt it be soooo much cooler with a really cool zoo. They grow on glass, so why not!

 

[teresaq]

I have palys on the front glass.

I set the frag too close to the glass, and away it went. Bad thing is you only get to see the back side.

Check with lfs to see if they have frag mags. Just glue what ever you want on the magnet and if it takes to the glass great. If not it will cover the mag and you will have the same result

I've seen mushrooms, zoas, GSP, xenia, even some SPs growing on glass, as long as it is a mat, encrusting, or otherwise longitudinal fissioning coral it will spread on glass (even branch type SPS corals will spread a base on glass)
