Green Slimer- its just amazing to see at night under actinic and holds up to intense lighting during the day with nice color.
Pink Lemonade (Acro)- Medium to slow growing... mine is currently in its encrusting phase and has not yet really taken to vertical growth- starting... but slow- Spendy compared to others
Purple Tort (Color on this is VERY light dependent... I had it too high and it was very faded... moved it and its FINALLY turning a nice PURPLE!!!)- seems kinda slow growing but its been finding a place it likes so maybe it will take off now.
Millepora (these are probably labeled as difficult for a reason but if you have success they are simply amazing looking)- SLOW growing
Montipora Digita- (I found one that GLOWS PINK... SOOOOO COOL)
Montipora Capricornis (plating)- Careful some are BORING... but there are MANY with very nice colors and I have a blueberry patch montipora that has a greenish flesh and BRIGHT purple Polyps! Look around there are some really really cool varieties but the rare ones are spendy for a montipora. GROWS FAST.
RedPlanet Acro (tabling, AMAZING color)- This can handle INTENSE LIGHTING- one of only two in my tank that will not bleach front center and up high... the more light you hit it with the better it gets. Grows SLOW but with extremely intense light I have noticed it "taking off" if you look every month or two... I have had mine for 4 months and its now doubled in size from a 1 inch stub to something maybe 2 inches long now but with many tips. Actually can be had fairly cheap... widely available is probably why.
Wish I knew the name... but I have a number of Acros that are kinda "normal" in that they are green with blue or purple tips... but I found a few that have colored polyps... one even glows under actinic very nice.
Then... I would say that you can never go wrong with a cool Hammer and Torch coral (not SPS) but they ROCK colors.
