    Im sticking to my stoney theme with my tank.... My lps garden is almost full except for one maybe two spots. Im looking for a nice lps coral to take these places. I was thinking a yellow or pink pagoda cup. Cant think of others off the top of my head. acans, brains, chalices will not be canindates in the spots I have ;)

    I currently have:
    Duncans
    Torch
    Frogspawn
    Hammer
    Blastos
    neon candy cane
    white bubble
    Dendros (next weekend)

    Throw out some good suggestions... if theres any left ;)

    Love my Dendro and Frogspawn. I love my blasto too but it isn't doing very well. I moved it to a cave so I hope the lower light helps it.
    I haven't had very good luck with low light corals.

    How about a fox coral.. Those look really nice!! I think they add a different type of texture..

    A nice green or pearl bubble is cool IMO

    Eliminating "brains" is like eliminating 3/4 of all LPS because people call most LPS some form of brain, some people even call acans brains. ;D

    Also one thing to be aware is some turbinaria (pagoda) color up much better under higher light.

    Caulastrea (trumpets)
    Catalyphyllia (elegance, make sure to get an aussie one though, I believe their survival rate is much better than others from other regions)
    Fungia/Cycloseris (plate)


    Is there any reason for eliminating acans/brains/chalices?
