Need Help Deciding What Corals to Get

[TylerV]

I have the Red Sea Max E260 tank and the cycle finished about a little over 2 weeks ago and I'm still stocking fish. I plan on adding coral maybe in a month or so. So before that time comes, I want to have a good idea of what kind of corals I plan on stocking the tank with. I'm mainly into LPS, sorta interested in softies, and still a newbie in SPS as I only have one montipora in my JBJ 45. One thing I know I want for sure is a euphyllia garden with lots of hammer, frogspawn and with a torch near it. Besides the euphyllia garden, what other corals should I be looking at?

Wow. That's kinda like saying, "what kind of car should I get?" [emoji3]. I like zoanthids, but I know some don't like them at all. If I were you, I'd hit up as many LFSs as I could and see what you like, and also browse the tank pics and ask users specific questions.

Keep in mind the agression of the corals you look at, those beautiful favia will require quite a bit of space around them. While the Acans (non echinata) can coexist peacefully and is why many people enjoy a little acan garden.
