Need advice for another coral

Hi everyone,
I just got the bucks for another coral. I have had the following already:
medium tree (since 1 week ago)
medium toadstool (since 1 week ago)
small xenia (since 2 months ago)
small mushroom rock (since 3 months ago)
and a small moon coral (since 4 months ago).
I have a 29 gallon tank. I don't have open areas of CC substrate (my tank is mostly coverd in LR).
I was thinking of an LPS coral of some sort. I am not currently interested in another softie at this point (but I might change my mind).
So what type of LPS do you recommend given my tank size and lack of open areas free of liverock?

well something like a hammerhead or a frogspawn may be a good addition. I know I have a frogspawn and a toadstool sitting right next to each other in my tank and they both seem to be doing fine.

Some of my favorite's are the candy cane and the sun coral. In a tank that size doing an eligance might be an issue if things get tight because of the sweeper tenticales.

A nice open brain of any color would go well. Even a smaller lobo would be ok. They are easy and just need food and decent light. Some of my fav's.

I'm with Mal on the lobo's.I'v got two of them in my tank and love them.A green and pink one as well as red one.You may want to check into a branching hammer.I'v got a huge one in my tank that is beautiful.When al the heads are open it's every bit of 14in across.

Regarding brains, do they mind being on LR? I was sorta under the impression they liked being on a sandy substrate. I only have CC, and not much open space.
I was sorta leaning towards a green hammer, but a small one, because I have a wimpy 29 gal.
