IMO flow, many undersides will bleach a ton to be sure, you might get some reflection from the bottom of your tank however... but corals need to eat, if there's nothing to eat on the bottom those polyps will die. I noticed my blue polyped cap has polyps on the underside even though that part is almost completely white, they're getting flow so food has a chance to get in there.

Mine are not SPS so much, but I have had success with LPS corals. Sorry for the quality of the picture , but I am not a great photographer and I just had this picture kicking around. It has been mentioned in this thread that people like corals that have grown large over time, and not just bought corals placed together to be TOTM quality.
The Hammer and Turbinaria on the left are both between 12-14 inches across. The Hammer was started from a small three head frag. The Favia on the right is about 10 inches across and is the size of my wife's head. The Yellow Scroll coral in the middle right was started as two small quarter inch pieces glued to a rock and it is now 7-8 inches. The Pink Pocillipora just above the Turbinaria seeded itself onto a dead piece of acro that was in a corner. I brought it out because it was quite brown and it has colored up nicely and grown to 8-9 inches.

Can you post closeup shot of Gorgonian at the back?
It looks very nice.

Woo Hoo!
Here is a shot from my old LFS back in MD, Exotic Aquatics - the store I mentioned back on page 2. They have a huge display up front, and about a year ago when I went back to visit I was amazed, every colony was bigger than a basket ball - i.e. on the order of feet large. Unfortunately they fragged it back last time I was there, and I've heard it's not as great as it once was. Also unfortunatey, this is the only picture I can find at this time:
