Would it be a sin to place this GSP up against a vertical portion of my rockwork? I just feel like it wouldn’t have much potential of taking over because there’s a fortification of zoa and duncan. I just cant see the zoas growing down right?

It looks good growing on the glass. Also easy to frag and control. It will take over that rock. Palys are even worse. Nice looking tank!GSP is a borderline nuisance coral, there are very few conditions it won't grow in. I'd keep it separate so it doesn't smother everything on the rock
yes that's a blessing in disguise, trust me you can live without that stuff. I cant keep xenia, tried it 3 separate times.I can't keep it alive in my tank even tho everything else is thriving
yes or even mushrooms would look nice there. not necessarily the plaque type of shrooms.So I believe the general consensus is no, so what would look good there? More zoa?
Throw a few shrooms in? *Ricordea Florida play nicely with my Zoas.So I believe the general consensus is no, so what would look good there? More zoa?
I put gsp on a rock with weed palys, imthe palys stand no chance.Would it be a sin to place this GSP up against a vertical portion of my rockwork?

I'd leave it there, although it doesn't look fully open there. But your whole rock structure will soon be palys and zoas I wouldn't mix gsp with it in case those plays release toxins in chemical warfare against the GSP for real estate.Would it be a sin to place this GSP up against a vertical portion of my rockwork?

I have a few frags of it on my back wall waiting for it to overtake the whole wall! Your tank looks sooooo mature it’s awe-inspiring!!Great recommendations and info above. GSP can be great under the right conditions and IMO can help with nutrient issues as well.
It will grow wherever there is light and moderate to high flow. Some strains or GSP are slower spreaders than others. I have it throughout my tank only because I love the flowing polyps. It’s easy to scrap off (and sell!$$$) from glass surfaces with a razor blade.You can also dictate where it grows by shading out its path with over hangs.
