Awesome. You must have an amazing amount of motion in that tank with all the softies moving in the current, and that's something no stony corals can truly replicate, even Euphyllia.
 
Nice looking tank. What type of lighting are you running?

I'm retired and can't afford those expensive lights. I'm running two Chinese dimmable 150w units hung about 10 inches above water. 50% white and 70% blue. 14 months and so far no problems with them.

I know all about the budget restrictions you have when you are retired.
What ever works.

Very nice softy tank
