Can I add anymore coral?

Can I add anymore coral to my tank? If so, what else can I add and where can I put them? Also, are there any good spots in my tank to add a Micro Goniopora? My tank is a 20 gallon long. Below I have attached a photo of my tank.

Frag Racks. What I also did is buy these frag plug holders and placed them into the rocks so I can move frags as needed. This will allow you to add more frags onto rocks without issues.

Goni worked best for me at the sandbed (maybe elevated a little). Moderate flow if you have it.

A Montipora digitata or hirsuta would look nice on the top right. I like the growth form of ACI Manila Spy or the round shape of The Thing anacropora.

A micro goni on a new island/rock bottom left should work nicely.

I may be able to try that, but my rocks don’t have a lot of big holes. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks! I’m just not exactly sure what other corals I could get and where I could put them since some are aggressive.

Heck yea!

More acros and montis top left.

Triple up the zoos on the bottom and triple up the LPS (frogspawn or torches... I can't tell) with some other color varieties. Four or five rock flowers lower left.

Awesome! Do you think I could add a red mushroom coral near my green hairy mushroom thats on the left side of my tank?

Yay! Now I can keep feeding my addiction to coral Do you have any suggestions of what other corals I can get and where I can place them? I just don’t know what else I can get and where I can put them since some corals are aggressive

You can! The green hairy could smother it but if you give them a few inches that won’t happen for a long time.

Edit: your green hairy mushroom can grow/split fast. I’d try to remove most of the new ones that pop up and donate them to another reefer.

I wish I had that much room. I struggle finding a spot to put any new ones i buy. I may have a problem. LOL

This is the right line of thinking. Envision the grow out and fill that 3d space

You could put a micromussa lower down and to the right of your micro lord/acan. It’ll get along with the lord. Micromussa (amakusensis) can grow faster and are less puffy so they’ll fill out that space and give you a contrast in texture.
