Help me fill in some spaces! I currently have a hammer (that got mauled by a crab), a large favites, a torch, an orange ricordea, a forest fire rhodactis, and a lepto on the front island. The pic was taken in the evening so everyone was curling up for the night. The hammer, mushrooms, and torch are much larger during the day.

I previously had another rasta torch at the front left that died, I think the flow was too high for it, and some zoas near the front center at the bottom that died and I'm not sure why. Everything else has been doing well. I'll probably put a new zoa on that projection at the front, left of center.

Tank is about a year and a half old now and pretty stable. Paramaters are: dkh 8.5, Ca 420, nitrates 1-5, phos .05-0.1, Mg 1300.

Looking for something for the left-hand rock, along the flat top or the front left ledge, and along the top of the right side rock. These areas are all somewhat high flow (especially the left-most ridge) and par is 180-250.

Both my toadstool leathers are in high flow and PAR. They love it and look great!

I would also recommend any montiporas and anacroporas.
 
I would try some easy branching SPS at this point. Stylophora, Montipora, or Birdsnest.

Yeah I’d recommend stylos and the neon green birdsnest. I have the common purple too, but that’s been a bit of a PITA with detritus.
