Hi
Sorry I have no idea where I should post this but-
I have a 300L tank and just wanted some help with what corals to get.
At the moment I have: anemone, Zoas, Palys, birds nest, Montipora, pulsing xenia, Kenya tree, hammer coral, torch, and a toadstool all are smallfrags.
Are there any other corals that are pretty easy to keep and have nice colours maybe some red or blue. Thanks in advance

Acans would be a good addition I think. Nice beginner LPS that comes in a variety of colors.
I’m aware you usually keep them on the bottom of the tank would a goby cause any problems with it by spitting sand everywhere?

To me it depends what type of goby and how much sand he moves. I had a diamond goby that moved astronomical amounts of sand and buried every thing before I got rid of him. My uncle has one too that just stays near his little cave. You can also get a baseball sized rock and attach them to that. So that way they’re off the sand bed a couple inches and shouldn’t get buried.

I have a diamond watchman goby (yes the famous coral burying mahine) and it doesn't bury larger piece plus some smaller pieces can shed sand just experiment. My 1 headed duncan frag might not be able to make it but my encrusting monti and my 2 headed candy cane frag can shed sand. Trust me those decent size acan colonies can make it and if it does ever struggle shift it up a bit. It can be done.
