Red acans

Mushrooms, orange or red, or blue ones.. theres a billion colors.

Cyphastria comes in orange/blue.

Zoa's come in every color under the sun.

Neon orange plate coral

Red favias

Leptoseris is a nice yellow.

I think I’m going to rearrange my torches. I also bought an elegance and it’s HUGE I did not expect it to be so large. It’s a beautiful piece but I  cant find space for it other than the middle. Can I move it with the torches and hammer? Or will they sting each other? Anyway as you can tell by the pic everything looks greeenish lol

Ah, beautiful! And look at all that space you still have to work with!!! I think your elegance looks great where it is. I don’t think you can put it with the euphilias since it’s a different type of coral but maybe others can confirm. I did read that they are very aggressive, and do best when placed on the sandbed, but I don’t have any experience with them myself. 

 

I would go for some orange corals to bring in some other colors - an orange plate, orange mushrooms, an orange Lepto maybe.

Elegance grows very large and torches have long sweepers. Torches can't be kept close to anything as they sting.

 

 

For reds and oranges there are plenty of options.

Blastos, acan, chalice, ricordeas
