Hey all, I was checking out my tank at night to see if I could spot any creepy critters. I noticed this weird looking consistency behind my GSP frag. I did glue it about 2 weeks ago to the back of the tank, I’ve never had GSP before so I’m not exactly sure what growth looks like. Is this growth or more so the GSP sliding down the wall and what’s being seen is glue residue?

Also don’t mind my snails crazy hair do, he’s getting a nice trim for tomorrows water change :D
 
Its very unlikely to see new growth on a coral after only 2 weeks in the tank. New corals will take several weeks or even months to acclimate and start showing signs of growth.
 
I looked at your video and it looks like encrusting is ongoing. Outstanding for you.
