In tanks like that I always like seeing LPS corals like frogspawn/hammer/torch corals, candycanes, or plate corals (on the sand).  You might also try acans. You've got some nice space for a zoa garden, too.  Might also look for a nice chalice or monte for you rock ledges.I'd steer clear of quick spreading corals like GSP, xenia, or mushrooms.  They can quickly take over tank space.Nice tank!

Looking good! Kudos for taking things slow and getting the tank established. I have some $5/head frags of green hammer and frogspawn that are easy to grow if interested. There is also a Frag Swap coming up the end of April that you should find some nice easy corals.
