So my Cespitularia is growing like crazy which I knew it would and it looks beautiful. However I placed it in the substrate up front to be a show piece down the road for the front of the tank. Problem is I was unaware of how much it would choose to grow on the glass instead. Is it safe to move it to the back of the glass vs the front? Will it attach immediately to the back or will it fall? I know it’s a hardy coral but again don’t want to kill it trying to move it. Total length is probably close to a foot now with all the areas of growth

You should be able to move it just fine they are a very hardy coral and should quickly adjust to its new spot.

Ok awesome. I’ll probably try to do it tonight. Is there any tool to scrape the bottom off the glass? Or just grab some gloves and gently remove them with my hands?

Credit cards work well. And razor blades.
