What coral's to buy???

[wedwards]

I am looking at getting some new coral frags. I would like to get some blue, purple, pink, etc. colors. just some that would "pop" out. I guess what I am asking is for some suggestions of some corals that are bright colored and look cool. Any suggestions???

acans, ricordias, zoos...The list could go on and on. What do you have already? What's your experience level? What kind of equipment do you have?

I've just got some softies right now. 55gal with a 4x54watt T5 fixture with a Rena Canister filter and a HOB protein skimmer. I am fairly new with saltwater as this is my first tank which was converted from a freshwater tank that had been set up for several years. Just kinda getting into corals, not any experience with them yet.

I would suggest continuing with soft corals and maybe trying out some macro's or some of the easier LPS. My first really successful tank was softies and macroalgae. There are a huge variety of soft corals to choose from. Some of them can grow very fast and become invasive so think about spacing them accordingly. Do the research before you buy.
