Your TOP “soft coral” Fan Favorites!!!

IMO, Pulsating Xenias are phenomenal!!! The problem being faced is 2 fold. #1. They spread too fast. And #2. They are a boring tannish color. Every reefer comes to the conclusion that many easier corals are both tan and spread far too fast. Xenias, Sinularia, Kenya tree, Some lesser desirable button polyps etc. And we all realize our tank’s footprint and space limitations. And off to the lfs to purchase reds, greens, blues etc. But the cool thing about Xenias is their unique movement. Enjoy them.

Ruby Red Xenia seems to be a bit less invasive and a better color than the typical brown Xenia.

I can't decide whether my favorite is the Fiji Yellow or Koji Wada

What are those colorful and moving soft corals in your tank that family and friends “eyes” just gravitate to?
1. My Zoa rock for sure!
2. My 7 year old, 20” Gorgonian!
3. My newest member to the tank, “Pinkie” a beautifully vivid RBTA.
note: my wife named the nem Pinkie. It keeps her involved.

So you’re going w The old my wife naming involvement line…ehhhhhhh lol. Amazing as always.

Unfortunately, not all stereonepthea corals are photosynthesis.
I had several variations stereonepthea like corals.
Some grows very well, but some just slowly waste away.

Yup.

my chilli looked like this but it just withered away and now remains as 2 nubs… I don’t know if it’ll ever take off again but I wish we saw more corals like these on the markets.

It’s annoying to see as he’s upside down in a cave but he still throws polyps out even as a nub half the size of a pink finger. The second nub doesn’t seem to be doing anything for now.

Have you found anything outside of “lighting” that has increased or decreased the color of this coral?

Haven’t really done any testing that would indicate a particular variable and its possible impact on coral coloration. I just keep my water stable relative to my system. It’s well within so called the acceptable reef parameter ranges.

Honestly, GSP has to be my favorite coral of all time. This is the best picture I have right now of my new frag. It was taken in the early morning
