Coral Stocking Question

[bostontim]

My g/f complains that the tank is boring. She wants 100 colorful fish and since I have finally convinced her that isnt possible she wants more colorful coral What would yall suggest as some really bright (neon green, yello, red, orange) corals that i could add to make her happy. i got a 75g with 6x54w T5. TIA

You can try some Hammer coral, frogspawn, zoas/palys, and all time favorite sun corals.

I struggle with color in my tank. Most of the colorful stuff I have is on the bottom. A red Aussie Acan, red scoly, orange and green fungia, but all on the sand. Idaho gape is a great fast growing SPS plating coral that grows near the top as well as an Orange capricornus. I don't want a lot of SPS as I have a lot of LPS and some softies. I have torch, hammer, frogspawn and elegance that all add nice greens, colored tips and cool movement. The pulsing xenia is cool -- light pink but it grows like a weed. The way I want to add color now is buying small zoe frags to add color here and there and then unusual colored mushrooms to fill in spots. Also -- blastos come in some great colors too and can be stuck in here and there. I am not yet at the color combo I want but it is improving. I just bought a aqua colored tongue coral that is up on a rock but I may have to find a place in the sand for it eventually. HTH

I think zoas would be nice to add color. There are so many different colors available out there that you can fill your tank nicely with.

And let's not forget ricordea's.
Man,I've seen some wild combos of colors.

I think candy canes are beautiful and colorful. My neices love them because I let them feed them. Not a boring coral. AG had some really lovely teal colored ones. And how about critters for interest. I just added an emerald crab (despite some warnings) and I just find him so amusing.

LPS, that is what for color...

Good call!

Ricordias are definitely colorful. So are pen brain and many other LPS.

zoo's and rics, they have some awesome color, plenty to choose from as color goes.

Keep your eyes peeled for some nice Orange rics, these babies give some great pop in my tank.
