Favorite Red Coral

[Joevember]

Was sitting next to my tank and planning future corals, and I thought, "You know what would look good? Anything but more green!"

So I'm thinking of adding some new red colors in there to try to even it out. I know there is an awesome red goniopora, but the sweepers would be too long for my tank. What kind of red corals would you put into my tank? Or just what is your favorite red coral?

 

Here's a recent tank pic for reference

There are some nice looking red Monti caps and mushrooms if you like soft corals.

I have a red micromussa lordhowensis (Acan) that I am fond of. Here it is with it's tentacles out, under whites

There are a lot of nice Acan's that are red and would do well in your tank (based on what you have in there now).

Got a half red half green acan

Blastos!

Rainbow Beach Bum monti, Bubblegum Digitata, Setosa, Red Capricornis monti

are all easy SPS if you want to mix things up a bit.

Thanks for those names, I'll be looking out for a digi now! I'm actually picking up a setosa on sunday, it's a pink and orange color.

Blastos with blue centers!!! Or all red

Blastos or Setosa if you want more of a bright orange.  I prefer yellow corals myself and those are much harder to find.  You can also get red zoas.

I love my red acans and blastos. The blasto's really pop.

Red tree sponges and red rock flower anemones are nice.

+1 on the mushrooms. great beginner coral and dont sting anything. even heard of clowns hosting them. i had a nice red one, but it detached from the rock (they do that sometimes) and reattached somewhere else where i cant see it. theyre really easy to propagate and look awesome.

In my tank it’s my bam bam zoas and red yuma.

some mushrooms will win the war over acans so do be careful with mushrooms.

Yeah, I never got into mushrooms because they multiply so fast. Don't really want softies anyways.
