I’ve noticed that I have mostly bright green and bright orange corals in my tank. Any suggestions for corals with different colors that “pop” like the greens and oranges?

What type do you currently have? SPS, LPS, OR SOFTIES?

All of the above.

Started this 40 breeder a few months ago and just have small frags in it right now but noticed that everything is predominantly green or orange.

For green I have are green slimer, green toadstool, green torch and some greenish zoas.

For orange I have orange setosa, orange yuma mushroom, orange jack o lantern leptoseris and some orange zoas.

I do have a blue and red acan, a bluish favia and a pink octospawn but they lack the pop of the green and orange colors.

I’ve got four different types. My favorite are blue with yellow/greenish frills because they kind of stand out. Then I have some with a green face and reddish frills and some dark purple with lighter purple frills.

They are all just about covering their frag plug but they’re small and grow slooooow.

I also have a red and blue Acan that is gorgeous. If you want something different rock flower anemones are awesome, super hardy, tons of color variants (I have one with an orange tentacles, green interior, and purple mouth, and then another that’s orange and purple interior, with bright teal tentacles) and you can pair them with some funky inverts.

I was looking into them but was wondering how much they moved around? I was thinking about a RBA for my clowns but I’m not sure I want it bulldozing my tank.

all kinds of choices..... chalice and favia come in every color of the rainbow. Any kind of meat coral actually have several colors on them. Mushrooms and zoa's come in so many colors. Acan lords also come in variety of color and so cheap. Hammers and frogspawn come in gold or purple polyps. Goni's and alveo's come in shades or red or pink or glitter.

just have a look any high end coral store and see if you still can't find anything except green or orange, the pretty colors cost more than the green ones though lol

From a color wheel perspective, the biggest pop against those would be purple. maybe a stylo or purple blastos? White may pop too - like a duncan? If you can keep it from too much light, cyphastreas are a good idea.
