Please recommend LPS for my tank

[allykahn]

I have a 180g with only a few zoas, two hammer frags and a frogspawn frag. I am trying to find some other LPS to put in the tank. I was looking at candy canes and a brain or two. Any recommendations of what I shoud get?

Could you also recommend a few good on-line places to purchase LPS?

Thanks,
A

A few to start with are thecaptivereef.com, jendub.com, thecultivatedreef.com. Micros and Acan Lords are always popular choices. They can be pricey though.

scolymias and cynarinas are also good choices. They have nice orange an red shades. Blastomussa merletti's are fairly hardy.

Disregarding extremely expensive corals, I have found that the easiest LPS to care for to be open and closed brains (Favia, Lobophyllia), candy canes (Caulastrea), pagoda cup (Turbinaria), and Blastomussa merleti. I don't have experience with other Blastomussa, Cynarina, or Scolymia, and Acanthastrea and Micromussa can be very expensive, though if you can afford them, or find one you can afford, they're also fairly easy to care for.

If there is enough space on the bottom of the tank you should try a plate coral.
