    I have mine on rocks, and it is fully open, colored up. I don't think it needs to be on the sand. What lights are you running? My LED set-up is the equivalent (maybe more) to 2x 250W MH.

    My blastos are on the sand, 24" deep under my LEDs. That's another LPS I thought of later and was going to recommend. I think they grow pretty quickly too. 6 polyps have turned into 10-12 in about 8 months.

    Something that would definitely do fine on the rockwork is Psammocora. It's a bit weird in appearance though, and may not be for you. Getting a bit more on the SPS/LPS boarderline, you could do pavona or cyphastrea. Either of those would be fine low in the tank.

    Hammers or a torch. Hammers are my favorite.

    Ricordia! They are kinda glow in the dark and extreamly pretty. In my tank they grow really fast!! They never split, they grow bigger! I have one that has to be atleast 3 3/4 inches! Maybe even larger!
