You could start a little zoa garden on that rock in the middle. Get a couple different colors and let them grow together

You need to spend more money, is the short answer. Instead of buying the green fungia, you could have gotten the orange one, for 3 times the price. The same goes for the euphyllia. You could also add more blue light to the tank, and that will make the ones you have seem more colorful.
 
So is that the plate coral and torch? Mr x I'm not to sure on the scientific names I would buy online but I haven't done it before I just get my stuff from the LFS I'm more then happy to spend more money and take some corals back
 
You could leave the ones you have and add some new ones. Generally, the more colorful a coral is, the higher the price. You should have plenty of colorful stuff to choose from at your LFS. After all, Australia is where the most colorful corals in the world are!
 
Here are more of my corals

We do have some beautiful corals :) my biggest thing is all the ones that I like that are colourful or nice looking are to hard for my experience with this tank like I'd love acros and other hard corals but I don't think I could keep them
 
You could definitely use a bit more rock. As for the corals, adding a little more blue light will go a long way towards making the corals you have seem more florescent.
 
Ill get some more rock tomorrow if I was to change the scape how would I move my BTA? Because I want to move the rock it's on
 
just move the rock along with it. Be careful adding rock- you could cause a spike if it's not cycled.
 
I bought a par 30 led but that broke when I moved house and then I went to a new LFS and got some 13watt LEDs and put them on the tank is also right next to my FW tank I don't think that has much light input from that but it's got 2 24watt t5HO lights on it the tanks are set up like this. And I know my FW tank looks bad it had an algae bloom but fixed it now:)

What type of light is that over the cube? Is that 13 watts total?
As for the rock, if it's truly cycled, then yes, but if it's not, no, you'll have to cycle it.
 
I think it is 13watts total it's only a 9 gallon tank the nem seems to be doing fine so far and so do the corals
 
From the pictures it looks as though those hammers and torch are brown. If so, were they brown when you bought them, or did they lose color since?
