your best bet would be a pink zoanthid or ricordea florida, there are quite a few of them. others like leathers if they are PINKpink they are usually dyed and you should avoind them, pulsing xenia is pink when healthy (at least mine is and since its spreading like a week i would say its healthy)

Good thing you said somthing cuz i was thinking about a very pink colt...
I'm not a big fan of zoa(too small) I have always liked ric maby i'll go to the LFS and see if they'll trade my orange and red zoa's for some rics...
Thanks
If any one else has any ideas feel free to speak up...

Anthelia is typically pink and very hardy. Avoid Scleronepthea and Dendronepthea. They're gorgeous, but pretty much doomed in a tank.

Tyree Leather Toadstool. The base of it is pink and the polyps are flourscent green. Not sure if its dyed or not, but I wouldnt imagine Steve Tyree would dye his corals, although I am not 100% on that. DeMartini has one on her thread, its awesome, very pink looking.

The pocilloporids can be really pink (not a surprise since they are named after Pocilloporin, a pink pigment that some of them contain) - check out stylophora, seriatopora, and pocilipora.
There are also some really nice pink LPS, especially some of the brain corals like cynarina and scolymia, etc.
Of course, there's also the pink tube anemones and the RBTAs.

You can get some really nice pink brains but make sure its not bleached cause alot of the pink ones I have seen are. The birds nest is a SPS

If I am not mistaken, they are an encrusting type of SPS, and at a local frag swap I picked up a 2.5 inch peice for about $25 if my memory serves me correctly.....so not expensive....online I have seen chalices go for $30 - $50 per inch frag...
if you have a local forum see if anyone has a frag available...don't think they are rare...that is what i did and lucked out...
