What corals should I add to my 5.5?

I have 2 Zenia's, 1 Candy cane, 1 Ricordia, and a little patch of zoos at the bottom. I REALLY like the pretty purple star polyps and would like to add those and some other corals with bright colors.

 

Lighting is 70w MH 10k Ushio 4-5" over the water. Tank is 5.5g with:

 

Nitrate:0

Nitrite:0

Ammonia:0

PH: 8.2

temp: 80

salinity: 1.022 (been raising it for 2 weeks. it was 1.020)

10% water changes every 1-2 weeks.

 

So far (2 months) everything has been going great.

 

Thanks!

Any montipora species will do good in there. The star polyps are bastard growers. They will take over all, and you may want other corals later, but the polyps will be everywhere. same with yellow polyps. They both pack quite a sting too.
