Hello!

I have a 20G standard height.

I have it stocked with 2 clowns, tuxedo urchin, an anemone, and a cleaner shrimp.

I’ve had an elegance coral for more than 2 months, and a toadstool mushroom in the back for 6 months (that the clowns are forcing to host them [emoji35]).

I have no plans for other fish/inverts.

I am skimming and using a Hydra26 for lighting with some screening over the top.

I have a MP10WQD mostly in lagoon mode.

As you can see, I have a lot of bare rock. Any suggestions for some nice LPS that could thrive here?

The anemone already made one trip around the tank before returning to the exact same spot after I upgraded from the Koralias to the Vortech where she has been for a few weeks now.

I have strong interests in:
Acans
Favia
Bubble Coral
Duncan
Hammer
Torch
Frogspawn

But which of these would do best in this area of the tank on rock? Could any of them do well side by side?

Thanks, I’d appreciate any suggestions!
 
I would add some of the Euphyllia, they will add movement, grow at a steady rate and are relatively hardy if water chemistry is consistent.

Torches should go with torches, frog spawn with frog spawn, so on and so forth.

Euphyllia tend to get along but occasionally you will see issues with specimens collected from vastly different geographical locations.
 
Think a bubble coral would do well in that location? Somewhere on the rock?

There is something about bubble coral that I just can’t get over. If I can find a nice green one it would be perfect
 
Well now I’m confused. Bubble coral isn’t really considered euphyllia is it? I see it is in the family but euphyllia seem to refer to hammer and torches?
