    I was moving some of my corals around the other day, and when I moved the LR containing a colony of green zoas I noticed that 5 had affixed themselves to my overflow.

    What are the chances that they will stick there and continue to spread? I'm happy to sit back and watch to see what happens. I'm just curious if anyone else has had success getting them to grow on an overflow.

    yup they'll grow ... I saw a thread where a kid glued Monti Caps to his overflow ... they grew off of it like mad ... it looked phenomenal

    ...directly on the back glass. Its awesome to see the webbing that connects them to one another from this perspective, its also super-easy to frag them like this. Also, by starting them off lower down, they have a tendancy to grow upwards faster (towards the light) than outwards, like vines.
