I totally agree that softies are underrated. There are people who think they are "above" those that keep softies because they keep SPS. I've been around the hobby over 50 years and reefing over 20. And, although I can admire a nice SPS reef, I prefer to keep the softies because of the movement, different shapes and maintenance. I don't want to be tinkering with my tank all the time nor do I have the time/space/funds for all the latest equipment needed to do SPS. Also, once the lights go out and everything closes, it's a whole different reef. I've spent many a night with a flashlight observing the nighttime biodiversity.
