Any one have any suggestions as to what I corals I should add to this fixture?

Color and type of coral, my sister made me this for the reef tank and I would like to make it look full of life.

thanks!

It might be difficult as most are vertical surfaces... Most corals will not get enough light. Maybe turn it on its side?

GSP or cyphastrea would look sweet on there. Also…. Good on your sister, she’s got some good ceramic skills!

Second gsp must be right strain though, not just your basic short light green stuff.

Very cool looking... It might be difficult to mount corals on the sides, though. Encrusting corals would look good and grow over it while still leaving the holes open, and I can see Acropora growing well there if your tank is established. What it really needs is a group of barnacle blennies, they'd love that sort of thing. A midas blenny, citron goby, or longnose hawkfish would also use it as a home. Very nice design, if I knew anything about ceramics I'd try to make something like that.

You can grow any coral on a vertical surface, don't worry ; ) looks like it has enough holes for light to penetrate into the interior as well. I would line that entire thing with zoas! You can do sps and lps encrusters as well, but many may fight with eachother once they start to touch...
