Your go to corals for MOVEMENT in a saltwater reef tank are...

[revhtree]

Unless you're a super hard core stick (sps acro) only fan then you'll want some movement in your reef tank! This can be accomplished via livestock consisting of coral and of course fish! But what are your favorite ways to create nice movement via corals only?

What's your favorite coral for movement in your tank?

Euphyllia and torches in specific.

Can’t go wrong with those for sure!

 

[Solga]

I will probably catch some slack for this ... But I have always been a fan of swaying, electric green looking GSP.

 

[blaxsun]

Torches.

I love octospawns. Tree corals are wonderful too. I would say torches, but they hate my wrasse.

Truth be told. I love me some electric green star polyp. Only issue is, I had a foxface who ate it all. So, I didn't try again. Place it in the right spot, you can control gsp. +1 on this.

this is hard for me, but I have to say acropora. I haven’t been able to grow it for the longest time due to a blenny but now I seem to be managing it

Acros provide movement ? I don't know, because I have never had one... But I thought they were just sticks with tiny polyps like a gorgonian.

Movement in my tank is based on fish and not so much coral

 

[Sharkbait19]

There’s always the weed known as Xenia!
Otherwise euphilia for the win!

I'm just getting started. I have a toadstool leather and some GSP for movement right now. I'm taking it slowly and am not sure when the next addition will be.

 

[SilvermistInc]

There's a reason I love Xenia so much

for some reason I can keep everything but xenia. a blessing in disguise?

 

[Sleeping Giant]

Anemones

Euphillia, gonipora, and leathers!!

 

[Alexraptor]

Euphyllias, Hydnophora and certain Pavona's contribute nicely to movement in my tanks.

 

[Toolman]

Pulsing zenia & torch are my favs.

 

[shakacuz]

not really concerned for movement in my tank… but there is some and will probably be more after i upgrade.

 

[Wasabiroot]

Putting in a vote for photosynthetic gorgonians. My purple plume sways back and forth with the pump cycles.
