the best coral?

[cap11885]

i noticed i have green purple pink and orange corals and im having trouble chosing any good looking blue yellow or red ones. any sugestions for good blue yellow and red corals?
my tank is LPS and softies. i have never kept SPS yet but plan to try.

Zoanthids, mushrooms, rics/yumas, montiporas, I believe there is a blue form of Clove polyps, but they spread pretty quickly. Sun corals are a gorgeous yellow, but each polyp MUST be fed at least every other day.

[Drew707]

Yellow pallys, cup, sun corals. Red fan, plate,brain,sponge, Chili corals. Blue mushrooms, zoa,sponge corals

trying to stay away from difficult corals so sponges and fans are most likely out

If your wanting to try SPS:

Blue: Oregon or Cali Tort, superman monti

Red: Red Planet or if your rich Red Dragon, forest fire monti or one of the other billion montis

Yellow: Pink lemonade or yellow tort, yellow cap

There are a ton of others this is just off the top of my head.

Blue- I would go with shrooms
Yellow- I would get a Leather or Scroll
Red- Shrooms as well maybe

fish can add color too...hint

Red - try some nice acans.
Blue - hawkins echinata (sps), tubbs blue zoas, blue shrooms
Yellow - scroll, porites (both sps)

Yellow leather

how do you feel about Goniopora and Montipora Capricornis

[Yedgy]

Fiji leather (beautiful yellow but more demanding than other softies)
Ricordea (many colors, but yellow, gold, and orange really pop under actinics)
Cespitularia (blue)
Heliopora (blue--kind of looks like SPS but it's classified as an octocoral like other softies)
Sympodium (blue and other colors are available)
Stereonepthya (yellow, among others)
Certain photosynthetic gorgonians are yellow.

Good luck! I'm pretty much in the same boat you are (rounding out the colors). Don't forget there are other ways to introduce brilliant color into a softie tank, like clams, certain inverts, and fish.

For red you can't beat an RBTA. One of my favorites and now that it has grown from the size of a quarter to the size of a ceral bowl (easily 10" around, maybe 14" fully inflated) that RBTA commands the most attention of the 20 or so corals in my125g.
