I would like some inputs on which corals could I place in the blue and red circles in the photo below?

I'm thinking some kind of chalice in the red circle. Have no clue what to place in the blue circled spot. Brainstorm me some ideas so I can do some research then decide, thanks.

Current corals are:

Elegance (Catalaphyllia jardinei)
Acan (Acanthastrea lordhowensis) X3
Hammer (Euphyllia paranchora)
Frogspawn (Euphyllia paradivisa)
Dendro (Dendrophyllia coarctata)
Duncan (Duncanopsammia axifuga)
Ricordia (Ricordea florida) X4
Pipe organ (Tubipora musica)
Candy cane (Caulastrea furcata)
Blastomussa (Blastomussa Wellsi)
Clove polyps (Clavularia sp.)
GSP (Pachyclavularia sp)
Misc Zoa/Paly (Zoanthus sp/Protopalythoa sp.)


Here is a FTS to give you the overall look.

For more coral diversity, how about some SPS, such as Montipora, staghorn/stylophora acropora...?

BTW I like your rockwork! Did you somehow glue those higher rocks/frag rocks onto the glass? I might want to try something like that!
 
What kind of lights are you running? The blue circle looks close to the red circle. So some of the corals mentioned like the frogspawn, elegance, and hammer might reach the lower coral with its tenacles. An Acan would be nice in the lower red circle. Dendros need low lighting, so it might not be idea for either spot. But if you have the right lighting go with an SPS of some sort in the higher spot. Blastos are really nice also.

Send me a check, and we can get started.

Otherwise, that shelf up top (blue circle) looks like prime real estate for a nice staghorn or birdsnest. As for the other one, a nice plating coral would work well for you.

The rocks have magnets in them I got them at http://aqua-mags.com/index.html

I'm running a six bulb aquaticlife T5 fixture with 3x ATI blue plus 2x ATI aquablue special and a UVL Actinic white.

I'm open to all suggestions so, keep em' coming.
