For the next three days we are going to talk about corals and suggestions for soft, lps, and sps corals. I love all types of reef tanks. Mixed reefs are my favorite because you get the best of all the corals! But today it's all about the softies!
@razarmi
Softies get a bad rap! Can I get an amen? Often times soft corals are associated with negative connotations but some of the most beautiful reef tanks I have ever seen were soft coral dominated aquariums. Starting with the cons, the usual pros and cons go something like this:
Cons
So for today's question of the day do me a solid and answer the following questions.
1. What is your favorite soft coral and why?
2. Do you have any soft coral pros or cons to add to the above list?
@MJC's Soft Coral reef is one of my most favorites! The photo doesn't do it justice! Check out the video below and see if you agree!

Cons
- For beginners (noobs)
- Invasive (take over your tank)
- Boring colors (not many bright colors)
- Less maintenance (less work)
- Grows and reproduces fast (for fragging)
- Movement (flows in the water)
- Cheaper corals
