I have a stylo puddling on my back wall ( recently broke off the mother colony) and just put a magnet ZOA plug on the back.
Anyone have success rates with ZOAs growing this way?

Not zoas, but there are clove polyps on my back wall overflow. They started at the bottom and over a year or so moved up to the top. They’re at the top of the water line and hard to see now. They looked cool for about 9 months. I was going to try zoas on the wall but changed my mind after seeing how the clove polyps creeped their way up.
 
I grow all the time on my back walls but using these frag rocks. I don’t have any on the actual wall yet but if I let them go I’m sure they would eventually attach

Blue mushrooms found their way to the coraline on the glass behind my rockwork.

Have had plating montis grow well on the back wall. Jays aquatics had a tank with a bunch of palys covering the back wall, pretty similar to zoas
 
Lol. My stylos same big circles now. I have 2. It's not branching but growing bigger. Lol. Hoping it will cover entire back wall. Lol. Waiting patiently. Gonna look cool.

I have colonies of pocillipora on my back wall.
 
Coral will attach and grow on nearly any substract provided there is light and water motion.
