Title says it all... I've got a 15g nano, plan was 100% softie so there was less management.

A few months back i erred and picked up a cheap elegance coral.
It's settled in well and has now opened up much larger than anticipated.
It's touching everyone, harassing snails and probably needs to be moved.

With that, what are your favourite LPS in this context.
I'm after something smaller that can be a bit of showpeice.
Something different to the softies, but not something hard to find or a crazy priced exotic variant.

Cheers

Love hammers, but also mushrooms are awesome, and some really nice looking zoas. My toadstool leathers - I could take em or leave em.

I'm going to say Trachyphyllia!!! They don't sting much, and their stingers aren't very long, there are different colors, and they really stand out!

One care tip - they are remarkably low light. I'm a light guy and I always have to protect them.

It's the big Green guy at the bottom of my 10G nano.

Acans come in a variety of colors and frankly are stunning

Well, I was going to say an elegance... hammers and torches are always fun to watch.
I would say elegance. I would add zoas around for color

I like the Euphyllia suggestions but they can take up a lot of space and grow pretty quickly, especially torches when they get moving in the current. I would go with a nice blasto or two or a scoly. They both come in lots of crazy colors and don't get super huge super fast

And the winner is... everything, lol.
I think if anything everyone's replies have prompted me to get over my dosing hesitancy.

Going all in on blastos and acans in my head at the moment, just need to find someone to adopt the elegance.

Thanks for the replies guys.
