Looking for opinions/experiences which as we all know..everyone has them.
Not my tank but I help with it, research when I can and have some vested interest (especially as I personally like SPS corals). Based on list below, in a 120 gallon tank that has an avg amt of rock work, can we ever add other SPS or softies or are we stuck unless we do some trading of ones below?
Also, is there anything you see listed other than ones I already know we got ourselves into a jam with as they're incredibly hard to keep corals (i.e. goniopora/alveopora), that you personally would NEVER EVER have in your tank (not due to 'aesthetic tastes' but due to properties of the coral like aggression, over-prolific w/o trying, etc.)
Personally, the war coral makes me very leery.

- Elegance Coral – (LPS to my surprise) long established, ok well 9 months but it is thriving
- Green & Pink Montipora Coral Frag (SPS) – have had 9 months, lost color but readjusted placement and green slowly growing back; pink almost ALL pink again
- Hydnophora Coral (SPS to my surprise) – have had for 6 months but it got covered in bryopsis and is slowly growing back its color (green)
- Trachyphyllia Brain Coral (LPS) – have had for 6 months, unsure if it is completely happy or not
- Goniopora Short Polyp Encrusting (LPS) - have had over 5 months was happy until aptasia irritated it, think part of it has died?
- Duncanopsammia Coral (LPS) – new and very happy
- Alveopora branching (LPS) - new and shockingly happy
- Alveopora tabling (LPS) - new and NOT happy
- 2 Acan’s (LPS) - need clarification from husband on specifics
- Lobophyilia brain coral – (LPS) new and looks almost as it did LFS
- War Coral (LPS) – new and deep/rich colors but leery of aggression
Personally, the war coral makes me very leery.
