Coral for Backwall

[Cool Fish]

I'm looking for suggestions to grow coral on the backwall of the tank, particularly on the interior overflow partition. Hoping to find a coral that will cover the wall from top to bottom, not just halfway. I once had blue-green mushrooms growing on the backwall in a previous tank. I may do that again. But, was wondering what else would work.(Please don't suggest Xenia.) Thank you for your thoughts.

Make that wall nice and orange

You can see where the original plug was and that they are both growing in all directions.

Nice. Did you glue them to the wall?

I took the plug stem off and used gorilla glue gel and glued them right to the overflow.

I have two types. Didn’t know what way they would grow so I just placed them mid height

GSP is about the prettiest you can get and I currently have zoa climbing the back wall and debating if I should leave it or trim it as its' reaching the top

I think it would be quite an accomplishment, if you could get it to grow to cover the whole wall.

Thank you!

Unexpected bonus - it doesn’t seem interested in encrusting and blocking my overflows drain slots
