Does anyone have any recommendations for softies that grow out but don’t spread in an invasive way? Something with a bit of movement to it that is likely to do well in a young tank? PAR and flow are flexible as I have a lot of real estate available still. Just looking to get a few things started before I branch out later to corals that require a more established tank. I’m contemplating some Zoas on an island but don’t want to get them into my main rock formation just yet. Currently I just have one gorgonian and one Rhodactis. Thanks!
 
Mushrooms and toadstools are the ones I would recommend!

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
