Zoas, plays , Monti cap , green star polyps , Xenia, liams clove , Miami hurricane challice are all pretty good. Some of them are invasive, so isolate them in one rock

In your area, you have options but Neptune really stands out.

Also you may want to say hi over at BAR’s site:

https://www.bareefers.org/

There are lots of local Reefers there who are generous with their expertise (and coral!)
