Adding color to FOWLR tank

[fade2black011]

I have a 30 gallon tank with about 25-30 lbs of LR, 2 Damsels, 5 hermies, and 1 Cleaner shrimp. Does anyone have any suggestions to add neat color and be more eye catching to the tank? My LR has patches of purplish pinkish but nothing really eye catching yet. My tank has been setup for a little over a month now.
Thanks,

Mystery wrasse? a bicolor angel? neon gobies? clowns? those all might work.

You could put in some mushrooms. Blue and red ones are pretty nice.

What kind of lighting do shrooms need? Pc's?

I think you can grow at least some shrooms under a regular fluorescent lol.

Thanks guys. If you have any reccomendations for shrooms that would be great. All I have is a regular florescent bulb at this point.

red or purple mushroom are pretty bullet proof..mine lasted through the cycle with no light, after that i had only 96w of pc lights(90g tank) and were doing very well..but did waay better when i got my Mh fixture which was about a month later....
