Help picking out flowy LPs corals

[mr frogfish]

Hey y’all! I have a tank that is euphillya dominant. I want more flowy LPs in the future. I have 2 hammers. I plan on getting 2 torches on the right Sandbed

Should I get goniopora/ alveopora, or more euphillya on the left Sandbed or wherever you think it fits

How old is the tank? It looks fairly new. I would probably wait on the gonis until the tank is more established. They can be finicky. At least that is what I have always heard.

Im only just now trying my 1st small Goni at just over a year of having my tank up and running.

Four months believe it or not! The ugly phase happened already.

It comes down to what you like and want. Just make sure your torches are away from your other corals including your other euphyllia.

Gonis and alveopora can be a little more finicky, so you may want to make sure your tank is a little more mature and stable before trying those.

How much light and flow do you get on left side sand bed? Both torches and gonis like moderate light and pretty decent flow. In my experience, gonis like a little bit more flow than torches.

Maybe Frogspawn?

In a tank that size, whether or not you can keep torches with other coral is going to depend on what your flow looks like vs where they are placed. Torches can send out long stinging sweeper tentacles up to 10+ inches long, and can kill just about anything it touches. You might want to consider other “flowy” corals, such as soft or other less aggressive LPS, unless you want torch dominant tank.

Flow is light and gentle everywhere. Would torches work on the sandbed? Same with flowerpots

That is great! What mix is that? A splatter or a mix?

Thanks for the note! I will take this into consideration. After I’m back from Florida in a few weeks (have not left yet) I will buy the corals.

My favorite is purple and green branching frogspawn.

I love Ruby red Xenia or pink anthelia , maybe Duncan coral would be good as well
