Best coral to add color and look good in tank

[Gabe aqua]

Hey looking to stock up my tank with coral which are pretty and have great color and aren’t miserably expensive. And don’t worry space isn’t a problem so let me know some coral down below. Thanks

New reefer? Sps, euphyllia, zoas, lps?

Kind of my first saltwater tank I broke down and upgraded but never get too much coral just fish because is was a small tank but now I am actually gonna stock this tank nicely. And any coral works

I vote Ricordea Florida since easy, cheapish (around here anyway), and different colors available.
*aesthetically, we all like what we like though

I'm a big fan of red plating and digi monti's, zoas, and mushrooms. These come in so many colors as well. I'm also a big fan of easy and these are all easy corals.
Happy reefing

Favias come in multiple colors and are fairly easy to care for. Zoas also come in about every color combination imaginable, most of them are easy as well.

You can’t go wrong with Duncans. They non aggressive, grow fairly fast, are tough as nails and are pretty.they are also inexpensive.

If you have the right lighting and flow you can pick what you like. SPS some have very nice color but can be more difficult and do not really add movement. Rockflower nems while not a coral are pretty hardy, add nice color if you find the nice ones and mine have stayed where placed on the rock originally. There are a lot of nice LPS corals with different color as well. I would research a bit on coral care requirements etc then make a plan on what you would like based on their care needs and colors available. Rock dwellers vs bottom dwellers. Plating monti can add nice color but can grow very large and shade other corals. I would also go slow and not just add a bunch at once. I've found coral to be very tank finicky for me. I have some that thrive in one tank and wither in another even though they run the same water parameters and similar lighting. I've never been able to grow easy stuff like GSP and zoas in any of my tanks. One tank 7 years old now can finally grow gsp and have some zoas coming around that have been stagnant for years.

This is my oldest tank 7+ years 180g. pardon the dirty glass, today is glass cleaning day and I haven't got to it yet.

This is my newest tank 2 months. I have a batch of stag horn frags I'm going to mount to the rocks. The other corals are form my other tanks. The big trachy and meat coral in front are the ones I spoke of that wither when I place them in the 180g for some unknowns reason. I've left them in there for weeks and just just stay deflated. 24 hours out and they look like this. The acclimation box is for a batch of snails I just got

Toxic Green SPS. Cheap, colorful, and easy to grow.

Bubble gum digi & red sotesa also pictured (also cheap, colorful and easy).
