Hollywood stunner and I agree with euphylia. Acros of course.
I have radons and Duncan’s are on bottom now and trumpets at best half way up.

GSP, Hammer, acans, trumpet, mushroom and leathers

I have a neon green goniopora on the top of my rocks and it loves the light. That’s also a possibility.

How big is the tank? Also euphylla don't sting euphyllia, so you can put the torch near the hammer if there's room for that. Same goes for a frogspawn.

My torch will kill hammers? I have found the torch corals only do well with other torch corals.

I always wondered if euphyllia could sting each other. I have my torches and hammers together at the top. I acclimated them upwards though. The torch at the very top is the happiest of the bunch.

Thank you, never heard of, or seen a galaxia so going to search for it now.

I have a galaxea or “galaxy” and it’s really easy to care for. Almost looks like grass when they get bigger.

Brain corals Faviidae love a lot of light. Look for genera Favia, Favites, Oulophyllia, Goniastrea, Leptoria and Platygyra.

Thank you everyone for all the replies, so many choices now.
Just a couple more questions,

GSP, Hammer, acans, trumpet, mushroom and leathers

Regarding leathers I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that they can release toxins that harm lps corals, is this true? I do like cabbage leathers, with my tank only been 13.5g would it get too big for my tank?

I really like war corals, are they one of these?

Thanks again.

I am not very familiar with the common names in the US but war coral should be Favites pentagona which is one of these.

Never had issues with leathers. Cabbage are hardy. I have pink and green versions
