    I am looking to put an addition into my tank that gives it some life. I am looking to get a coral that moves in the current. I have a toadstool, im getting a torch coral, I have goniopora (small size) and I am looking to get some more movement in my tank everything is too stationary in my tank nothing moves except the fish. Money isn't really an object so post me some ideas. Also note that I am getting a carpet anemone so anemones are out of the question on movement ideas.

    You could go with some hammer coral, torches are cool too. Maybe a nem if you have the lighting to support it & depending on how established the tank is.

    Although some consider them a weed, I LOVE my pulsing xenia. Adds so much pretty movement. Also, I have a big pineapple tree coral that adds nice movement as well.

    Oh, green star polyps too.

    on top of whats already been suggested, consider elegance, frogspawn, sinularia, open branis, bubble coral, doughnut, anthelia, a fiji yellow leather, acans, flowerpot, kenya trees, long tentacle plate corals, and . . . ummmm I'll prob think of some more later.
