Hey everyone!

I'm pretty happy with my current selection of corals but there's some extra space that I feel some more coral could spruce up. The first place I would love to add something new is next to my green hammer coral and frogspawn in the top right section of the reef. Its hard to see in the photo, but there's quite a bit of flat space to add some more corals there and I'm not sure exactly what to get. I like euphyllias, so if anyone has good suggestions to continue the euphyilla garden there that would be great. I was also thinking of getting zoanthids/mushrooms so if I got those, where could I put them? Any other unique coral suggestions?

I wouldn’t put anything else in there until you get rid of all but one of those anemones LOL. With your current selection of inhabitants, your tank is going to be nothing but GSP and bubble tip anemones in a year or less. Not a joke. The nems will move and kill coral too.

If you are willing to do that, then we can talk more about diversity and lots of options for you. I think zoas are a great idea. You can place them anywhere in the bottom half of the scape. Chalice, montipora, and cyphastrea are fairly easy intro into stony corals. Torch coral are my favorite euphyllia.
