I am looking for the most colorful soft corals. Bonus points for hot pink or magenta corals! I would love to see pics of your most colorful soft corals, the name and possibly where you purchased (if online).
TY!

While not a real soft coral the rock flower anemones have great color. Another not soft coral but colorful are mushrooms.

Red:
- Red Macroalgae (Not a soft coral I know, but wanted to add it in)

Orange:
- Jawbreakers

Yellow:
- King Midas Zoas
- Yellow Fiji Leather

Green:
- Green Star Polyps
- Green Sinulara
- Neon Green Toadstool
- Emerald Zoas
- Green Palys

Blue:
- Blue Tubbs Zoas

Purple:
- Purple Monster Zoas

Pink:
- Koji Wada Pink Nepthea
- Pink Zipper Zoas

Tan:
- Weeping Willow Toadstool

For some really bright colors you could also look into NPS (Non PhotoSynthetic corals)
This NPS tank has some pretty crazy colors in it.

There are probably more corals, but these are just a few that came to mind.

Thank you for this most helpful and informative reply. I plan on checking all of these out and I already looked at that beautiful NPS tank.

Look on some large coral websites such as Queen City Corals, Corals.com, Riptide Aquaculture, and some others, and look at the Zoas and Mushroom corals. Also, Scolymias are very colorful, but they are a little hard to care for. And there are clove polyps.
