Did somebody say LPS? I'm a euphyllia fan. I have a:
Torch (baby)
Frogspawn
Hammer
I shared all these shots over in my thread in the Photography forum, including this newest one when I target fed my candy coral at night. Notice, these are the same three candy heads from the first photo (torch). They're looking MUCH better now.

The browner/purple one is an Acropora Gemmifera. A really cool coral, but an extremely slow grower. Nothing to do but WAIT. And it's wild-cultured (how's that for a marketing term?), and I've had poor luck getting those to color up, personally. Again, give it time.
However, the same principles apply to both of these corals, as far as growth. LOTS of light, lots of calcium (always maintain over 400ppm), alkalinity (9-11 dKH), and magnesium (1350ppm). Clean water, stabile conditions, (temp, pH, chemical levels) no phosphates, yadda yadda.

Cool. And as a side note, don't bother trying to feed SPS. They're primarily photosynthetically fed, and will color up best the cleaner the water is.
