what would be a good soft coral to grow on the back wall?

[SurrealSerenity]

I have a 29 gallon oceanic biocube and I'd like to find good corals to grow on the back wall, so what kinds would do well? and would be okay being close to each other? also what is the best way to make them grow on the back wall? I have some pulsing xenia against the back wall but not on it and its at the bottom.
Thanks

The xenia will most likely climb towards the light. Green star polys would make for a good background.

gsp ...grows like mad too..i have mine on my overflow and it covers that up nicely...

I've got pink star polyps and kenya trees growing on my glass. Both seem to be pretty happy there, but the star polyps have the easiest time spreading upwards. I've seen xenias on glass too but I bet it'd take a long time to cover the whole back of a tank. GSP would look very cool.

I have blue anthelia growing on the back wall of my 20 long. It spread from my frag rack to the glass in a matter of days, and has continued spreading from there. It has covered about a 6" by 8" area in less than 6 months.

i have some pom pom xenia that started to grow on the back wall looks pretty cool :thumbsup:

The blue anthelia looks cool for a background and so does the pom pom Xenia, actually they all sound good now its just deciding... I'm also wanting to rearrange my rocks, I've got them stacked in the middle of the tank and it looks good but somehow I want to make a formation against the back wall with a lot of good surface for coral. I just don't know how to go about it.

I've used green star polyps to cover the back wall on a couple tanks.
I just used some superglue gel to glue a few pieces of it in different spots and it eventually will grow together.

Just place the rock with the polyps you want to spread directly against the glass with a f. They like dirty glass coraline, algae etc should be present where you want them to attach.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Anyone have pics of your stuff growing on the back wall? Would be nice to compare and then go with what looks best. Thanks.

I am looking for something to go on the glass of my back wall too, I would love to see some pics of these, especially the pulsating xenia.
