Hi i am stocking my tank and it currently has:
2 ocellaris clowns
1 blue cromis
purple star polyps
My tank is a 250 litre and my question is where do you think I should place corals?
My lfs have gotten new stock in and I will be going there tomorrow to get a few corals (not sps yet)
I will be removing the baseball sized rock on the bottom of the left cave and placing a purple green tipped torch in its place on the large rock near the bottom (in second pic) but don't know what else to add and where to place them please help

All depends what you like. I like fungias, open brains like trachys or scolys on the sand bed or even acans. Frog spawn and acans, Hammer corals mid rock and sps on top or lps scattered everywhere, just depends what you enjoy.
 
Always start new corals out in the sand bed so they can acclimate to your tank and lights. Don't glue them down until you find their perfect spot they will let you know. Also if you go to LiveAquaria's website you can pull each coral that you get and they will tell you where it best belongs. This will give you a good idea if it says strong flow and med light you find that spot in your tank. Or low flow and low light etc.
 
Yeh I know that I just want to know what corals you guys think k u should put in there and where where they will eventually go
 
My favorite coral is a Duncan next would be the Euphyllia's, Hammer, Torch and Frogspawn. There are so many color combinations of the Euphyllia's that you can fill your tank with just them :D

You've just got to pick what you like
