So I am looking to get a new coral frag this weekend as it is my wedding anniversary and I am one of the few girls who don't want jewelry :lol:

What coral would you suggest? I am looking for some things that like to be up high with higher flow and LPS corals as I LOVE LPS corals. I do need to fill in the top too though! Pictures would be a plus as well :)

Here's what I have so far:
-zoa rock with radioactive dragons eye and miami hurricanes
-zoa frag possibly fire in the sky
-zoa frag eagle eye morph
-pink hammer
-frogspawn/hammer hybrid pink with green tips
-frogspawn green with pink tips
-green stylophora
-orange ricordia
 
My wife loves LPS corals that flow as well LOL. How about Duncan corals (they grow fast and look like daisies) or the long tentacle plate coral (although it should probably be on the sand bed).

I haven't run across a pink hammer, but I've got to start looking for one :)

I got my pink hammer on diver's den a month ago :)
 
Kind of in the same boat wanting some LPS that can take some light and flow besides euphyllia. If you don't have a duncan I would recommend one as it is one I have up higher and it does well.

Duncan is the closest coral up top...

Next coral?

Next coral?

+1 The neon kryptonite candy cane or the green on green torch .... Both of these corals look great under actinics! Take a look at my album pics @ reeferbill Happy Reefing!!! I have some nice green closed brain corals.:wildone:
 
Thanks everyone! keep em coming! these are all great ideas! Although I think I'll hold off on the elegance coral as I hear they're pretty hard to keep.
 
I have a bright orange wall hammer its probably my favorite it took some searching but I found it and I love it.
 
'frogspawn green with pink tips' gets my vote. An oldie, but a goodie - easy to keep too. Always one of the first noticed and favorites of non-reefkeeping visitors to my tank. GL!
 
The hammer was $80 which I would pay over and over again its about a 5 -6 inch wall. I also get alot of compliments on my bicolor frogspawn, some heads are green some are purple and some are both.
 
I have a large pink lithophyton that everyone in or outside the hobby likes very nice baby pink color grows anywhere in the tank but does not spread just gets larger.

I think torches look great in high flow. They should be able to take the high light.
What about a pagoda cup. Should do ok under those conditions and has nice large frilly polyps that will sway in the water.
Note: all of these will look better if you have some kind of disruptor on the flow so it is not linear in one direction all the time.
