Looking For Coral Ideas

[1234-fishy-freind]

Hi guys.
Im looking for some ideas and inspiration to fill my tank out with. I would like lots more corals but im stuck as to what to get. Im running t5's at around 2.8wpg and my current lps (branching hammer) is doing really well. (id also like a new fish too thinking about a pair of emperor cardinals or a fairy wrasse...)
Here are a few photos of my tank to give you an idea of what ive got to work with.

Hello,
Well I personally love sponges, they're easy(ish) to keep and come in bright colours! Or maybe a big sea fan??
Perhaps a orange fan sponge? Or a blue finger sponge?

What type of coral are you looking for?

How many t5's and what lighting unit/reflectors?
What tubes are you using?
What size is the tank?

Got 4 54w T5's, tank is 80 UK gallon.

need to know the dimensions. Mainly depth.

What sort of coral do you want? Softie, LPS or SPS

Looks to me like your going down the softy and lps route? How about a nice kenya tree

I'd suggest a nice size Duncans (but only because it's my favourite) - you may want to get a small frag with a few heads, or if money available, try and get hold of a decent size colony. Don't like being in direct flow but are genrerally not fussy. Can be target fed, or just left to pick up feed when you feed (depends if you turn pumps off to feed?).

kenya tree is decent shout I would also say a big xenia as well look ace in the flow

a luminous green trumpet as well would brighten it up a little and I;ve found them easy to keep
