    Default need color

    My 60 gallon has everything in rust color. All the coral seems to be that color; mushroom , trumpet; etc. It is their natural color and my tank is healthy with a yellow tang. 2 oscellaris, and green chromis. Can I add any more fish? I have about 7 pieces of healthy coral. Looking for coral or fish easy to care for and have some color besides rust. Thanks

    ZOA'S would be nice and easy, or maby some green star polyps, you could also find some blue or purple mushrooms.

    what type of lighting do you have??? if you have good lighting you could do some easier sps corals like digitata, they come in some nice greens and oranges. ricordeas will give some really nice color also.

    For colorful fish you can look at the pygmy anglefishes they come in blues, yellows, oranges and even red. If those are too aggressive you can look at the 6-line wrasses. Fire gobies are pretty and colorful too. How large do you want to go with your fishes? I have a pink barred goby and a really gorgeous randall's pistol shrimp (the goby and pistol shrimp live in the same tunnels and are truly a hoot to watch!)

    DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GET ANYTHING! ..... otherwise have fun!

    My thought would be:
    green tree leathers
    blue mushrooms
    purple gorgonia
    zoa in green/brown (hint hint please take some)

    carefull with the angels they can pick at corals but I have 2
    coral beauty.. can be yellow or red/purple
    vermiculated angel.... black/white/yellow
    flame angel... not easy but flouresent orange/black
    fire fish are cool but jump! pink/white
    ohh if you don't mind diggers...
    convict blenny .. As juvi.. black with silver horizontal stripe adult is black with yellow veritcal splotchy stripes.. very cool

    If your ready for sps/lps then a rainbow of color is out there!!
    hope that helps!
