    I'm a big fan of the ORA Pearlberry.
    ORA Pearlberry Acropora, ORA Pearlberry Acropora coral, Pearlberry Acropora Frag, Pearlberry Acropora

    Also I'm hoping to get this in my new tank the ORA German Blue Polyp acro.
    ORA German Blue Polyp Acropora, ORA German Blue Polyp Acropora coral, German Blue Polyp Acropora Frag, German Blue Polyp Acropora

    ORA Red Planet is a great piece too if you can get it to keep its' color.
    ORA Red Planet Table, ORA Red Planet Table coral, Red Planet Table Frag, Red Planet Table

    This piece I just got (I didn't pay full price for it though), not sure exactly what it is species-wise though, maybe some sort of chalice.
    JC Prism chalice AKA PPE Chalice : Juicy Corals, Rare Corals, Exotic Corals, Live Corals, Aquarium Corals

    I'd also like to get one of those nicely colored scolymia's too, they're quite pricey though.

    There are too many amazing chalices and favia's to list, be careful not to get caught up in the marketing or photoshopping though.

    For movement there are some great euphyllia out there and duncans are great as well.

    For a more extensive photo-list of some amazing coral you can check these out if you haven't already.

    I personally like bright green corals so I recommend getting an open brain and/or Green Star Polyp (GSP) because they are both harder and colorful. I like the pulsing Xenia in the background because of the closing fist motion of their tentacles(?).

    I have a few (not in order)-

    Rainbow Monti
    Sunset Monti
    ORA Red Planet table
    Cespitularia
    Orange Sherbet chalice

    Actually, I love them all. There are too many to list. There is, in the right setting, no coral I dislike.
