I Need GSP Directions

[PJs_Bucket_List]

Not to be confused with GPS directions (this is a reef club forum, after all). I got a nice piece of gsp Saturday from @Steve Burton, and I'd like to have it growing on the back wall of the tank. What's the best, and easiest, way to accomplish this? It's not ideal to place it on the sand bed at the base of the tank wall. I have a diamond goby, so anything on the sand bed is fair game for him to bury, or drag around to "decorate" his burrow if it's small enough. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Super glue gel. I'd place at the bottom, it grows up much quicker than down. I use a rubber glove. Rub some on the glass then put some on the Frag and attach.

Another option is to mount/glue it to a small magnetic frag rack. Place the frag rack towards the bottom on the back wall. Once it has overgrown onto the back wall, you can remove the frag rack.

super glue it to the wall or to a rock and position it against the wall so that it will eventually connect and grow up the wall. Just watched a video on this exact situation

Hunna also had a great idea of the frag rack. That'll definitely keep it away from the goby and have better placement

Wow, sounds like super glue is the way to go, by unanimous suggestions. Thanks for the awesome answers, everyone!

Make sure to stock up on these glue gels from dollar stores for $1.25 a pack!!! (Must be green cap)

I just want to add this tidbit: I'd heard about the super glue method before, but I was hesitant to do that right away for two reasons. 1. I was concerned that the glue might harm the coral if applied directly to the back of the piece. And 2. The piece I received was teeming with a few little bristleworms (yup, Eww! ) and a bunch of tiny serpent starfish (yay! Bonus!). I put it on the sand bed, close to a rock structure, which hopefully encouraged the critters to relocate. I don't want to accidentally glue any starfish in the process of placing the gsp.
