Default Colorful LPS suggestions?

I am trying to brighten up my tank some and LPS corals seem to do very well under my lighting conditions. I currently have Candy Cane coral & a green brain. Any suggestions of some LPS corals that are not pink! I have a lot of pink and purple corals and I'm really trying to get some color in the tank. Was thinking maybe a red chili coral, but I'm looking for something that is green, blue, orange or white. Thanks for any suggestions.

elegance, frogspawn, torch, lobo's,
turbinaria I think I spelled that right, but all of these are pretty cool and come in pretty colors. Just with the elegance they usally come from deep waters so you never want to put them up high or right under the light plus you want them on the sand bed because they can actually tear there flesh on the rocks, OH star galaxea is pretty cool to also welsy brains are sweet too

Frogspawn are really attractive.

Torch coral and hammer corals are also nice.

Here are some pics of my frogspawn before my tank crashed.

Thanks for all of the replies. I really like the LPS corals. I haven't had much luck with SPS and it is pricey. Got a Trachy last weekend. Bright Green! The trying to get some blue and orange mixed in to brighten it up some. I need a white bubble coral. The one Liveaquaria sent me is pink.

Ok, I've been looking around a bit, and I think I'm going to do a Chili coral. I would love to have some of that Acans you guys were talking about, but I can't find it anywhere! Anybody know of reputable places online to buy coral that don't dye their corals? I've check LiveAquaria.com, Saltwaterfish.com, and Marine Depot Live. Thanks for any suggestions. I think everything good the LFS here gets is sold when it comes in. They have a lot of corals they have had in their tanks for over a year!
