Situation is I want to put a colony of GSP. Problem is I don’t have glue. it’s as huge 7 inch colony for like 10 bucks. How can I get it to stick on the wall without glue?

That seems like a really bad idea, I'm also not sure what the tack is supposed to stick into to hold the gsp in place.I know it’s not a good idea but could I use a tac on the thinnest part of the colony to pin it?
I don't have any experience gluing it so I would take his advice over mine. I had heard of using magnets but I never knew it was because the gsp wouldn't easily stick it to the glass. I just thought it was to be able to move it and start growth in different spots, as mentioned.I tried with super glue and it always failed after a few weeks. Must not bond well with glass. However, i've glued pieces in the corners of my overflow and return bulk heads and its starting to spread well. I've also seen a few people who glue it to a magnet. Leave the magnet in a place you want it to grow until it spreads over the magnet and onto the glass, cut it and reposition to spread it in multiple spots to speed up the process.
It will stick to the glass just fine once it starts to grow. Like others have said if you have it on a rock that you can move, moving it right up to the glass will let it spread onto the glass. Once it attaches itself it will be fine, it's just a matter of holding it in place long enough for it to grab hold. If you give GSP a place to go, it most definitely will go there.That seems like a really bad idea, I'm also not sure what the tack is supposed to stick into to hold the gsp in place.

Leaning a rock covered in gsp against the glass was the way I did it.It will stick to the glass just fine once it starts to grow.

Gluing things is very easy. You need gel super glue. A small amount goes a long way. Put a dab on it out side of the water, then stick it where you want and hold it in place for about 30 seconds. Others have had success gluing GSP to glass, I just haven't.
Are you sure what you have are turbo snails? I don't think they go into the sand bed, or I guess maybe mine do and I just don't realize it.Will supergluing the Cora straight to the wall slow growth? My turbo always hides under the sand like a inch and comes out to the rock only
Im usually good with animal identification. I have 2 nass snails and 3 astrea snails and 1 turbo. Its definitely a turbo snail but I think as it eats the current blows it into the sand. It comes out at night to eat Algae off the glassAre you sure what you have are turbo snails? I don't think they go into the sand bed, or I guess maybe mine do and I just don't realize it.
That will be fine. The glue should bond better with the plastic over the glass. It also will not inhibit growth. Give it a few weeks and you should notice it starting to spread.I superglued the coral directly to the plastic wall. Is that ok?
