looking for something red...

[yosemite sam]

OK, I have noticed that most of my corals and other stationary inverts are either tones of green or brown/flesh (my button polyps are a cool purple color). In some of the really cool pics that people have posted of their tanks on this board, it looks like some folks have some coral or gregonians that are yellow and red. What would go well in my 20 gallon long?
I have been thinking a gregonian, but I'm worried that they will outgrow the tank (or come too big for that matter) A 20 long in only about 13 inches high, so there isn't a lot of head room. I have some spots open on the sand, on the rocks, and in all water current conditions.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Just so you know, I have two 55 watt pcs and two 20 watt NOs

Yellow button polpys have yellow buttons . Any kind of clam would be a good addition. Some nice blue/purple ones. Red brain. Certain star polyps from what i can remember are pretty vivrant in color. There are also white stripped mushrooms... I've seen various feather dusters that have a little color. One i saw from hawaii was mostly white with red highlights. I have two one is green with white highlights and the other is black to white to green....

GARF has these. Pretty cool. I want some. They call them Red Zooanths I think.

It's red... no I mean really red... NO, I mean it's red, red, red!
I have a mental block with Latin... heard the "official name" several times, each time forgetting even faster than the last. Names used in LFS's... Brocolli coral, Nephthea, Red Tree coral. This lives in my 5.5 gallon and is doing well under 2x32 PC's.

Wow, thanks for all the replys. It looks like I have a bunch of options. I saw for sale online somewhere something called a chili coral. It looks a bit like the red tree coral posted by glazer (which was also for sale on the site), but even more red. Anyone heard/ have experience with this?

I haven't had any experience with them but the chili coral is known to spread fast and packs a powerful sting to nearby inhabitants. I used to have a red brain but it unfortunately died. It was absolutely gorgeous. There are also some wellsophillia(spelling?) brains that have a mixture of blue/green/red. I've had one that has been doing great and they are also great looking.

For reds and yellows I suggest open brain, devil's hand leather, carnation, the options are truly endless.....you just have to be at the LFS on the right day ;-) that or go out on a limb and purchase your coral sight unseen online. I have ordered green start polyps from this site and they were a very nice size specimen for the price. I was very satisfied.

Chili corals are generally very difficult to keep alive. They have no zooxanthellae, and require large amounts of food to keep them healthy. I wanted one also, they are an unbelievable red color, but after researchiing on a few other BBs, I decided against it. There are some brilliant red and orange sponges on various web stores, the shrooms are nice red, and easy to keep, multiply fairly quickly and can be fragged easily.
