coral/ mushroom suggestion

can anyone suggest a coral or mushroom that is colorful and likes to be higher up in a tank that has metal halide lighting (2 x 150 watt). I have a koran angel so that is also a consideration. I have tried moving some of my mushrooms (hairy, green, blue) to the top of my live rock but they don't seem to be real happy (anout 2/3 up a 120 g tanl)- I would like to get something up there to provide a nicer look than just the bare (though covered with purple coraline algae)

you can try zoas. many of them do not mind MH lighting.

Florida Ricordia mushrooms like the high light as long as flow is not too high up there. Not sure what other stuff is angel safe.

actually I have one up there in the middle of the tank and its doing great so maybe I'll get another

yea i like the look of some of the more intense colored zoa's and they seem to like the high lighting also

Zoa's are a great suggestion,.. Something else to think about would be some of the Montipora speices,.. it's SPS (don't know if your angel would leave it be) but would be really cool looking
