I'm looking for ideas from those who have an established tank. With limited real estate, each addition is critical to the overall appeal of the tank. Which corals have you found to be must haves and have been the most successful in a small aquarium. I am most interested in LPS & soft corals but open to any recommendations.
Thanks!

Some sort of Faviid, Micromussa, mini colony
Chalice
Xenia if you can isolate it to a "island" of sorts to limit spread, star polyps or anthelia close second in same spot
hammer or torch as a show piece (with plenty of room to spare)
cyphastrea

My tank is only LPS, I focus on chalices, torches, acan lords, acan micro, and acan echinata. I would recommend those. Acan at the bottom, chalices in the middle, torches at top.

I'm not familiar with some of these, I look forward to looking them up! Thank you.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
