"centerpiece" coral suggestions-


just looking for a centerpiece for my tank. everything i have is kinda small, i want something that gets big and cool looking so that your average person("hey is that saltwater?") has something impressive to look at when they check out the tank. was thinking a red open brain or something to be centered on the bottom of my hex tank. any suggestions???

Green frogspawn with purple tips, in alternating flow they are stunning.

Branching hammers are cool, and yellow fiji leathers are always tank-stealers.

I say about any LPS flowing in the current will do the trick! Bubbles or Frogs especially.
Kenya tree cool too! Open brains are sweet as are clams. But remeber your lighting!
