Bold colorful softies

[Martini5788]

Hey everyone, in a few weeks when I get
My lights set up, I want to start adding some softies to my tank. The problem that I am having are they a lot of the ones that I have found are tan, brown, neutral colors and I really want to find some with a lot of color. Any ideas of ones that I should start with? My husband is in the military, so I want fast growing ones that will fill in the tank fairly quick before we have to move again. I plan on getting some zoas, hammer, gsp, and Xenia. What are some other options? Thanks!

How about Green Nepthea, green polyp toadstool, blue cespitularia, just to name a few.

+1..if you find any other colors than that, more than likely it has been dye.

Ok I will look into those. Is there a list somewhere that has level in tank and such for
Those
Corals? I tried to find one but it's hard finding anything on my phone

The majority of them requires moderate to strong light and medium to high flow. They do get big and they shed and they can also release a toxic which can affect water quality and other corals. Most reefers that keep softies usually runs carbon.

I have some color with mostly softies and a few lps.

Also look into mushrooms you can find them in just about any color.

My green devils hand leather is very bright under blue lighting. Green finger leathers. Yellow Fiji leathers. Green polyp toadstool. If you notice most of the softie corals are indeed green/tan/pink. I supplemented color with zoas and mushrooms which come in many colors. Add some blue/red/orange/yellow to fill in and you will have a lovely tank.

If you want something that grows fast and is pretty in color, I'd recommend looking for Eagly Eye zoas in addition to what others have said. These zoas are super easy to grow, grow fast and look pretty as well.
