Help With Brain Coral

I posted this in the new to hobby form before I saw this forum so thought it might be more appropriate here. I'm looking to get a splash of red color in my tank and was wondering which one of the brain corals is the most brilliant, the trachyphyllia or the lobophyllia? Do they both get about the same size? My understanding is that both of these need to be on the sand bed so that's OK. I've got a 120g with 2x150 MH with 14K bulbs and 2 2x65w PC's with 50/50 10K/actinic.
 
Trachyphyllia geoffroyi is one of my favorites. Trachyphyllia radiata is another one of my favorites, Some are very floerescent. A friend of mine has a reef with nothing but differrent varients of Trachyphyllia on the sand bed. It looks fantastic!!!!
Good Luck,
Nick
