WHAT TO PUT ON THIS ROCK???!!! CORAL IDEAS!

[hexcolor reef]

Currently I have a mummy chalice and a looney tunes stylo coral at top
And zoanthids mid way up.
An acantho to the left at bottom and a rainbow acan at bottom front.

Fish: Clown Tang
Red leg crabs
Pink Fluffy Sea Urchins


I’m thinking of some GPS at the bottom.


What other coral would look great on this rock? As well as placement ….

Thanks for ahead of time

Hang some gorgonians upside down. They’ll hang down and then start to grow back up towards the light (if photosynthetic). Nps gorgonians obviously don’t need light, so they can provide good hiding spots for fish and add an interesting effect. Not the best pic, but here’s one I had upside down. My filefish loved it.

Just a pic of some more Gorgonians

Masstick was their first food and favorite. Eventually they would eat anything they could fit in their tiny little tube mouths.

This is a great place to get them as well. Great prices and the specimens are usually 6-10”

Some nice rock flower anemones on the vertical surfaces. Lots of colors.

I just picked some up for another part of the tank. I was thinking about covering the entire bottom with them but the acanthos sits to close to it. Only spot in the tank right now it does ok in

I’ll move them around and see how they do since I really was thinking of it
