I am looking to add some red to my mixed reef tank. No SPS, no NPS. I have been looking at different possible corals and come up with the following list
blastos
lobos
mushrooms
brains
gonipora
Is there anything else Im not seeing? I would be ok with leathers aswell, but havent managed to find any red leather.
Pictures and suggestions would be awesome.

What Im hoping for is something more 3 dimensional...if that makes sense. like frog spawn, or kenya tree, or SPS colonies.
Carnation coral would be perfect, but its NPS and hard to keep long term.

Lots of red Acans out there and they're easy to care for.
I know you said no SPS but Monti Caps are easy to find in red and probably the easiest SPS out there. They'll grow in anything with not a ton of light.

Red Chalice. This one is much redder in real life.

Not quite red, but I've seen an orange Torch Coral before. If I remember they're expensive though.

After the color green, you'll find the next most common color for hard corals is probably the color red/pink.
The rarest is yellow.

For a good red and even yellow color look at sponges. You can find them at http://www.kpaquatics.com/ I plan on getting some red and yellow myself. This is really RED :D

found a nice orange lobo, and a blue/green chalice with orange eyes. Will keep looking for red and yellow. Never thought of sponges....

A nice healthy Trachyphyllia can be a jewel sometimes.. The red with that turquoise is definitely an eye catcher. GL.
