Purple Duncans if you can find them.  Slower growing and a little more sensitive than green Duncans, but still easy.

Purple Stylo for sure, but if happy it will outgrow your tank.  Miami Orchid if you want to grow acros and are really ready to keep params steady.  It's a rugged coral with purple tips that are impossible to capture with a camera.  Body varies from purple brown to brown.  This is LED only so colors kind of goofy but in general are accurate.

There is another stylo, the Orchid Stylo from Reef Gen.  Harder to find, slower growing, goofy purple and yellowish color.  

 

Under T5+LED

Under LED only, sorry out of focus, but Orchid on the right, purple on the left.  Looks better under LED IMO.

Your corals and pics are gorgeous.

a different path could be Blue Ochtodes/Blue Hypnea macroalgae.

 

I’d live more macro but I have a tuxedo urchin.

 

@markalot very nice, beautiful shots

Thanks, but also seriously consider those corals, they have all survived some serious mistakes I made.  Alk spikes, rapid Phosphate drops, you name it, they survived.  :)
