Default Montipora placement ideas or pics please

I have a few large pieces that I can't seem to find a good location for. One is red 10" x 5", one is green 6" x 4". I'm considering breaking them up and shoving then in LR cracks because they don't look natural sitting on top of my LR. They also cast some pretty big shadows below.

I started one monti frag @ the back of my tank, on my overflow and glass ( Kenny bugs me for stealing his idea )
It's actually a pretty nice frag, but I won't boast about it right now

Not the best pic, but I can post better pics later when it grows
I found it sticks best to the plastic, not the glass, when using any kind of reef glue
Kenny says he roughs up the plastic ... I found you only need to smear a small bit of glue where you want to mount it ...
Then, glue your frag and stick it on the smeared glue ...

i have a question about montiporas:

if a certain section is in shade like in that picture, will that section eventually discolor and die? or will the part thats still in light keep feeding the shaded section?

Good question, I would like to know as well. I suspect the colony will support itself but separate frags may have issues.
