Looking through my tank and noticed all my corals are green to blue/green. Is there any corals that you guys like other than green?

Red monti cap is nice. Although in my tank it appears more pink.

also thinking about acans, do they like a lot of current or little?
Acans and lobo. Best part is they like very low light. So you can color up your darker spots in your tank. My acans thrive with only 100 par max

I got a nice frag of orange acans and a really interesting ricordea that's all different colors to offset all the green coral I had first. Torch corals come in some pretty colors other than green too. I've got a purple torch with pink tips that adds some nice motion to the tank as well as giving me some new color. It is rather aggressive though, so I'd recommend making sure you've got some extra space to leave around it if you go for one of those. And as always, you can never go wrong with the endless different colors that zoas come in.

Yes, last option would to be zoas since i already some in my tank and would prefer other corals, acans look nice and will look into adding some, seems to be a lot of different color for those

Depending on the amount of real estate you have to spare a Symphyllia can add a lot of nice color to your tank.

They seem to be pretty fast growers as well. I've had mine for two weeks now...got it with two heads, and it's already sprouted three little baby polyps around the edges.
