Suggestions for my BC29

I am looking to getting some coral for my biocube to fill the right side and was wondering if I could get some input. My wife says there is too much red.

Make sure you wear gloves when you start removing those palys. Palytoxin is no joke and those buggers will eventually cover your whole tank.

Acans and a favia would be an easy bit of color.

It depends on what you like and are able to keep alive. I personally love the movement on LPS. Wellsos, scolys, lobos, acans and zoas are some that have lots of color.

Can I put some nitrile gloves on and rip them off by hand? Can you recommend some gloves if those do not work out?

Edit: I have not tried to keep any SPS. The only LPS I have had is my hammer coral and its doing great! I actually need to see if I can trade or sell some.

I have a DIY radion. I will look into birdnest coral. Is it hard to keep? Wife = boss

You'll want to use heavier gloves like dishwashing or even chemical rubber. I'd scrape them off- not with your hand.
