New 36gal reef... Help getting into sps.

So i thought id add a few photos of all the corals i have added over the past 2 months. The pictures arent the best. Ill have to work on it. I just take them with my phone.
Only problem ive had is a small cyano outbreak. Ive dropped chemipure elite into the sump to combat any trace phosphates im not able to get through water changes. I also Cut back the light an feeding an we will see what happens.
Im not sure the name of the coral that purple one with green dots is called. Im not sure the name of alot of my corals though lol. Feel free to comment if you know what things are called. But that is just taking off. Idk if he is just easy to grow but he has almost doubled in size sence i got him.
My first green monti has grown sence the last update. He spent a month growing about 1/4 of skeleton. Now he has spent the last 2 or 3 weeks coloring up. He still has a little more to go. I can't wait till he decides to grow again. See what direction he gose.
I did lose a soft coral, idk if he got stung or if even have a goal that can sting. But one day he just clamped up an didn't come back.
I have a small zoa farm going i plan on adding more. May add a few pricy ones. They are slow and steady nothing to brag about. Just 2 or 3 heads a month. And the war coral is also doing great.

Big picture everything is great but as far as really gluing things down. Idk. Im not that impressed with overal look of tank. Then again everyone is probably critical of thier tank. I think after growing out it will get easier to fit things in place.

This is full shot. Ive got quite a bit going in the 4 months sence my first success with sps.
Any ways any tips on better placement for the corals i do have. An maybe a reccomendation of a coral i could add, to help bring everything togther.
Im open for all suggestions an constructive criticism. Thanks guys!!

Fast build update.....
I had problems with the light fixture I had over my tank. (Evergrow 165wat led) I tried messing with the light settings, so like normal I go into the app an it did nothing but crash. Long story short after many attempts, nothing I did worked. So manually for 2 or 3 days I was turning them off an on. Finally, I was able to get a great deal from a local reefer on FB! He sold me a great AI prime hd led light. I can't be happier with it so far. SOO many options an you have a ton of control. I have a small shadowing problem caused by the center brace. But i have it to where it affects no corals.
Other then that I'm excited, I have 2 encrusting corals so far. And the coral below after 2 weeks, He has really colored up also some growth! He just pops now!
