What soft corals would work with heavily stocked angel/ tank/ trigger tank?

[Singspot]

I watched this video ... good number of corals with lots of fishes ...

But I could not identify the soft corals for sure .. so wanted to gather your inptus - What soft corals would work with heavily stocked angel/ tank/ trigger tank?

Also, my tank is 8 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft with 60 gallon sump with skimmer and lots of live rock and sand bed.

I do not like stony corals nor do I want to do "Dozing". I do use "Pro-reef salt so likely I have some calcium ...

I love corals that flow, are forgiving and can be ok with Angelfish, butterfly, HT, etc. 10 big fishes and 10 medium ones ...

Sure, agree that would be 1. GSP

Any additional ones anyone recommends - like below ones, anyone has any experience with?
2. Pom-pom Xenia
3. Toadstool Leather
4. Sinularia
5. Candy cane
6. Any Anemone

All of those are great choices. The angels will likely nip the candy cane into oblivion, but leathers are tough and slippery, especially toadstools. Careful with xenia tho - will thrive in high bioload and might become very hard to remove in a tank that large. Spreads like weeds.

I have toadstool devils hand finger leather neon green sinularia pink and green nepthea and my huma huma and emperor don’t touch any of them

Gorgs are not likely to be eaten by too much either. At least my puffers never liked any of my gorgs or leathers.

 

[Wasabiroot]

I agree about gorgs. Much more likely to be predated upon by certain Snails (cowries), very hardy, good movement, fish use for shelter, easy to feed.

I tried a GSP and a Rose BTA anemone.

After 2 days the GSP was pruned to as attached. For last 5 days I have not seen any green in the GSP. Is it dead and I shud remove the remains (or it will wrot?)?

The srose BTA seem to be doing well ... i am spot feeding too ...

I am going to expand in a month .. so I exhaust all learnings....also I am not too interested on SPS. I like movement... so wanted softies and Anemone...

I do not which one of my fishes are coral muncher ...

Water parameters are fine <0.25 phosphate and <25 Nitrates... its been onoy 1 week since water change ... i change 40% every 4 weeks ... Phosphate never climbs over 1 and Nitrates climb to 75-100 max ...

I have added a UV today and will add another skimmer in Thanksgiving.

I want to add some movement in my tank, want to keep all my current fishes and add a Bluespoted Toby Puffer... yeah ... it be tough to find a fitting coral ... but I will keep trying...
