I glue sps to spots of coralline on the back glass, seems the glue sticks best there for me. I have digis, stags, caps, acros, and Millis all on my back glass now.

I like. I have had SPS close to the back glass and it too started growning to the glass. Neat effect and hopefully will do it soon. Right now I have GSP growing in the back of my tank for the heck of it.

I always thought it would be neat to have encrusting monti on the back glass.  I've seen magnet plugs that look to be designed for that purpose.

I have a old korilina that was broke and I cut it off the magnet, I have my red cap glued to it and growing :D

I had Gsp and Xenia on my old setup but be careful the Xenia dosen't fall behind your rock and start growing all over!

I hAve seen people who used a deemed to get a flat surface on a monti cap then glued it I the back glass. It is still there and has grown well. It has been there for a few years now. But he did have a good thick coralline algae growth on the back wall that he glued it to

Blue sympodium will grow on glass and coraline  algae, glue it to a magnet, start it low as nit goes for the light.

I have GSP and a milli on my back glass,

(old pic, that's the same milli on the right)

The only problem with the GSP is occasionally it will start to peel off the glass and then snails just plow under it making the problem worse so I end up having to cut half of it off, right now I have a bunch on big pieces with nothing to do with. It was originally attached with magnets. Maybe my problem is no coralline on glass.

The sunset milli is on a <a href="http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/saltwater-aquarium-fragging-supplies/frag-plugs-disks/oceans-wonders-mag-disks-4-pack.html">Mag Disk pack</a> I was given and I gotta say they work pretty good if you don't want to glue down a frag on glass, pricey though.
