I'm trying to come up with a list of corals with *movement*. Most of what I'm coming up with it corals that have larger/longer polyps that sway in the current. This is what I've got so far-

Xenia
Green Star Polyp
Blue Clove Polyp
Frogspawn
Leather Coral



If anyone can think of some other, please post! I could really use the help:smile:
 
organ pipe, nephthea, cepistularia
 
There is a variety of softies that fit the bill. Nephthea, Sinularia, Lobophytum, Sarcophyton, Capnella (Kenya Tree), Cladiella (Colt's Coral), Xeniid's (Cespitularia, Xenia/Heteroxenia, Anthelia, etc.), and photosynthetic gorgs all provide motion and are generally hardy corals. Euphyllia (frogspawn, hammers, anchors, etc.) also provide good flowing motion and tend to be fairly hardy.
