I was looking at my tank and realized it's missing yellow and orange as far as corals go. I would like them to be LPS if possible so I'm hoping I can get some recommendations.
I have come to really like Acan corals and love euphyllias, if that helps any. Feel free to recommend other types though I'm afraid to try sps but I will eventually.
Thanks in advance.

There are lots of yellow and orange chalices.

I've seen acans in those colors, but they do tend to be the more expensive varieties from what I've seen.

I was going to say orange is easy enough to find in plate corals and they are super bright.

If you want a very bright vivid yellow go with the fiji leather. They grow quite quickly and give a little movement to the tank. Mine has the diameter of a volleyball and is the centerpiece of my tank. I love it.

Plates, chalices, and torch corals are the easiest orange/gold corals to find. Yellow is a bit harder. Just aquired this goniopora (it is NOT dyed):

I also have a gold lobophyllia, goniopora, leptastrea, chalice, and a true gold hammer.

I got an Orange Pavona coral that's pretty neat. It's still pretty small though.

Here (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2276070) is a good thread on Orange corals.

My rainbow acans, there color is a little faded in picture because I didn't realize rainbow acans need to be in the shade to keep their color.

There's also things like Gold/yellow/orange torches and hammers that are gorgeous and sounds like what your looking for, especially under LED's!
Check out uniquecorals.com they always a have a great selection and the prices aren't to outrageous either!
