yep red/ornage...maybe some zoas if you like them..will add pop of color
if you were close by I would give you some orange bam bams...last count we had close to 1000 of them...
That's a lot of bam bams!

dang that’s wild!! That’s a lot ha
 
I don't have any of the coral epoxy stuff but I have super glue is it possible just glue would be enough to get corals to stay put on my rocks? Ask the corals are on plugs if that matters.

Depending on the coral. Zoas, mushrooms, cloves, etc definitely. Something taller or top heavy can get knocked over by cuc, flow, or just general growth.

I actually found a tube of the epoxy stuff I didn't know I had so they are all now secure as well as a few rocks I had that were a little wobbly.
 
@tharbin and anyone else interested here are my current lights that I would like to add the orphek lights to. Something that would hold all 3 lights would be awesome but not sure if it's possible. Please ignore the dust I cleaned them after the pictures. I have to get up on a step stool to reach them and didn't realize how dusty they had gotten.

So my Nassarius snail laid a lot of eggs all over my glass & my Mandarin just loves eating them (lol) thought it was a funny interaction to share.
My scooter blenny and bumblebee snails love them too. I always feel bad for the snails lol
