soft coral

So, I was hoping for some advice on an injury to my PS Gorg. I was removing some hair algae today and my hand accidentally caught one branch as I was pulling the algae loose. It looked like I pulled the outer layer of the coral loose from the skeleton (but not fully off). I slid it back as it...

Hello everyone! As you can probably tell by my choice of tank, this is our first foray in to the marine hobby. The tank is totally stock at the moment. So far it's been unbelievably exciting. We set the tank up so we would be able to pick up a pair of clownfish for my son's birthday. He's...

Hello everyone, so my 50 gallon frag tank has been cycling for quite a while now and I am ready to add some test coral with this, I want to set up a anemone/mushroom basket, but I have seen other people use my question with this is what would be the best substrate to use in this? Should I go for...

What’s up guys, so I had a bad algae bloom in the past that killed off a lot of coral, tank had been good. Just a lot of the red cyanobacteria on the sand and rock work that I have to blow off every couple of days . Par near the Acans is about 85-90. My Acans and GSP have not been open in a...

Hey guys I got gifted some Kenya tree coral by my local store who said that it is very weed like so shouldn’t have any issues growing it. I expressed my concern over my lighting as I only have white light and no blue and the assistant said it would be fine because I can grow macro algae etc...

Hi! I'm new to this forum, and about to get into this hobby via a 33g cube AIO. I'm planning on starting out with clowns, some soft coral, and a few hardier LPS down the road such as Hammers. As I'm planning the tank I realize I don't have enough flow just from the return pump. Considerations...

Hello, I am currently in the process of converting an ill-fated attempt at a macro algae aquarium into a soft coral reef. Need suggestions on species or tweaks to my setup. It is a Water Box Clear Mini 16 running an AI Prime, Tidal 75 w/ Purigen, heater, ATO, and a small powerhead. It was...

What soft corals would you add to this tank and where? Please share and give me some advice and inspiration! - Thanks!

Interested to know what this coral is, common names and scientific if possible.

Trade for some kind of leather specifically toadstools

I've been obsessed with videos of Raja Ampat and have stocked my reef with mostly fish and coral native to the region and plan to eventually make it a full biotope. This coral really caught my eye. It appears to be some kind of gold/yellow leather coral but I can't tell what and Inturalist which...

What is this? It is totally not waving hand anthelia (although it was sold under this name), because i saw other frags of the similar size and the only similarity is their fluffy tentacles(which are not as fluffy in this thing). Waving hand has tentacles that wave in the flow, this specimen has...

Was told this is a “Green Tree” coral. Any idea?

As the title said looking for soft corals and Im in the Houston, TX area.

I want to get into the reef world however there are no decent coral shops in my area. I have decided I want to buy them online so I was wondering where you recomend

I got it today at the LFS. It looked fine when I picked it out. Thing is, the guy dropped the bag while bagging it and went to go get more water to rebag and now I’m not sure it’s the same coral because it did not look like this? This is it ~1/2hr after dipping and acclimating into my tank...
