there are some very colorful and nice artificial corals. i have seen a bunch of show tanks on the internet that are done strictly in fake corals. usually the smaller marine stores will carry the stuff. BUT WHY? get some live rock and some macroalgae plants. i bought one maroon macroalgae plant and it has taken over the 50 gallon corner aquarium. not only that, they are beneficial to the life of your tank.
