Picking out new coral!

[Proverbs3:5-6]

Hey everyone, I’m thinking I want to pick out some new coral for my tank. I’m running a 75gallon with an ati 48” dimmable 8x54 t5 fixture. I really have no experience with sps corals and usually stick to lps and softies. I had been out of the hobby but recently got back in and so far have some gsp and purple star polyp frags with a tie dye mushroom. I’m thinking I’d like some hammer or torch coral but I also like acanthastrea or similar. What would be something good to add a bit of movement and a lot of color?

Definitely a hammer or a frogspawn I just picked these up yesterday and they add so much movement and their color is AWESOME!

Yeah here’s some pics. I picked them up for $20 each I think I got a good deal though but I’m not too sure on the pricing of Euphyllia now. The white pictures were taken just now the blue last night. They still aren’t totally puffed up yet because I just barely added them to the tank.
Edit: sorry for the picture quality I’m just realizing it’s bad now haha it still captures it alright though but much better in person.

If you like hammers but also want some movement, consider a torch instead.
