Will encrusting coral, lepton’s, chalice, stylo etc. will they encrust over gravel medium?
I’m placing a lot of my encrusting coral at the bottom of the tank but not on rocks but gravel. I created a hill slope with gravel in my display tank and would like the encrusting coral to cover it. Has anyone done this before with success? And how was it once the Cora covered about a square inch of gravel, did the medium stay together if removed?

That depends on size of gravel particles and water flow in your tank.
I suppose if gravel size is large and flow low, encrusting coral might grow there.
Mind though that gravel is a trap for nutrients and not necessarily best substrate for reef tank
