Searching for frags

Presently my reef is simply too green. 60% of my corals are green or off green colors, and the remaining 40% different tones of Brown.

I'm looking for something to color things up a little. Some ideas I would like are red or pink hammer frogspawn , or torch that I have seen in pictures, but never in person. However anything else that is not green or brown would catch my eye right now.

As an added note I finaly got my Tunze pump delivered and set up yeasteday. Wow did it make a big big difference in water flow compared to 3-300gph power heads. I realy love that wave effect from the controler but Im a little hesitant on turnng it up to a full 3,100gph on my 120 gallon tank.

turn up your tunze, i have a 120 with a tunze 6100, and 6000 both are turned all the way up, this is not including my koralia 4 and two maxjets, and mag 12 return. More flow the better. I have some orange zoos and pink birdnest that you may be interested in.

I do have the Tunze set for 35% and 100% with a rating of 3100gph that alone should give me a flow of about 30+ turns. My return pump is a 3,600 gph unit that I had to throttle down since my 1 1/2" return pipe could not keep with it. So after the 17" lift I'd estimate I'm getting another 500 gph flow there for a total of 3,600 GPH. I can see some fantastic flow and movement in the tank that I did not see before with 4 power heads.

I guess if added movement is needed I can always add a second Tunze pump as it wount be as expensve now that I have the controler.
