i would like a coral for my clown fish... but i was wondering if there's blue corals out there? I personally haven't seen any.

There are not too many blue corals (other than some Acropora) out there, especially the deeper you go. The predominant wavelengths of light are found in the blue part of the spectrum (as you get deeper). A blue colored coral indicates that it reflects blue light. Not a good thing for a photosynthetic animal.

Clownfish seem to like 'Colt' corals although they may grow out of control depending on your tank setup. :)
