Since SPS can grow larger than the tank they are in then couldn't one raise frags on larger diameter bases which are then later glued to the bottom glass and just have a forest from a few species vs some hectic rock bundle with a bunch of small colonies? Plan is to use Reborn as the bottom cover which I'm using now and would nicely cover those bases and hide them as if the corals were just growing from the bottom. Would have better flow as well since colonies would be stretch far apart to prevent some mythical underwater warfare.
Was reading about micro-fragmentation where several pieces from the same colony were place near each other and those grew stronger together. Perhaps five related frags on an oversize plate.
Filtration will be handled outside the display thereby not having rocks won’t affect that.
Edit: I should have been clearer in my specific ask. Is gluing direct to the glass a smart idea? Should a large specimen bleach out that's likely a tall task to remove. Perhaps no choice but flat rocks to form the foundation which can be removed or changed as needed.
