Help me make a decision. Monti cap selection.

[FishLipz]

So I have an open area in my tank that I've decided to fill with the cliché swirling monti caps. I can't make up my mind on a color combo though. I'm having a hard time visualizing the color combos grown out. Starburst and flower petal, Leng Sy and starburst? Any opinions on what you think would look good together? Inspire me!

Here is how I have mine set up - not swirling yet. They were before but got too big and I had to frag them back and start over

Thanks! I just glued them to the rock by their edge in that pattern. They were about 3 inch pieces when I put them there so they already had their shape started. Corals will encrust to the glass but it doesn't take much to knock them loose so you will have to use enough epoxy that it will hold them permanently even when they are big. Some people will use magnets but they can get knocked loose later as well.

That's going to be quite beautiful all grown in.
