My tank is coming together, with some happy LPS and SPS frags. But this is a tiny IM Fusion 10g, and I want to leave a lot of room for these corals to grow out. So I'm looking for suggestions on what to put on the backwall!

The wall is getting high-to-moderate flow, so that rules out a lot of cyphastrea. The lighting is moderate, so that rules out anything finicky. I'm looking for something that is super colorful with bursts of some other colors, so that rules out montipora. My acros and montis will be growing around here, so I don't want anything that's going to sting the **** out of them... so that rules out chalices.

So what would look nice and will encrust flatish on the back? Leptos? Porites? I'm also interested in suggestions on how to encourage an evenly distributed growth.
 
Doesn't rule out montipora. Look at encrusting montis like the Superman, Jedi Mindtrick, or Mystic Sunset montis. They are super pretty!
