Help Me Pick the Right Coral

[Rubberfrog]

I am looking looking for an encrusting, non-plating and non-chalicing, coral to full this spot. It gets about 385 par and high flow. It sits 6" below the water line. I would prefer something pink, if possible.

Any ideas?

One of the high end montipora, jf altered ego , reef raft crazy t, etc. Or just a really nice acropora would be amazing up there

i personally have beach bum and kungpao but they prefer lower light in my tank when some places say they are high light corals, which i find weird. A nice monti setosa would look cool and are always super pink, other encrusters like mystic sunset could look nice too

You guys don't think it's too close to the surface for a branching coral?

Something colorful and expensive.

I was hoping for colorful and cheap. Haha

nope acros work up there but less branching and more like a nice tabling acro like bc aquatic man or POTO bleeding heart would look amazing up there,

I have a Tyree pumpkin pie which I find a very unique piece. Its an Encrusting LPS. Bright orange and has clear tentacles with blue tips. Medium growth and I have grown it in 600 par to 100 par. This is a quick picture I had on my phone they are on the left. But if this is something that fits the bill I got mine from battlecorals years ago. Cheap as well.

Search up RR Tropic Thunder monti.

It seems to me like the already mentioned mystic sunset monti checks all of your boxes. It's pretty, cheap, pink (I've seen pics that are more red but mine is closer to pink with purple polyps), and encrusting. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite encrusting corals. It's also growing really quickly in my tank which is an added perk.

It does sound perfect, now to find some in AZ.

Mystic sunset monti is pink under higher light like that. The bluer polyps darken if up some. Almost reminds me of a lava flow. Really a cool coral, but it grows REALLY fast. If you put it up there, it will take over.
I vote for setosa. Super bright, cheap, and hardy.
