Show us your Sweetest Soft Corals!

Don't know how this works exactly. I'm new, But I have a rose anenome that I've had for 6 years and it's turning brown, shriveling up and does have pink tips but that's about it. I've been doing frequent, small water changes but he doesn't seem to get better. How long do these type of soft corals live and is there anything I can do to help him? Thanks.

Welcome to Reef Central! Post this in the Anemone Forum. There's lots of knowledgeable folks over there to help you.

Any recommended online vendors for softies? Most of the LFS seem to carry more LPS and Zoas round here.

Live Aquaria's Diver's Den is good for finding rarer softies like stereonephthya, true metallic blue cespitularia, and other harder-to-find color morphs of leathers. A few vendors like Unique Corals, Your Reef & Cultivated Reef have nepthea.

Thanks for the tip on nepthea. Every nepthea I'd seen for sale before was a mislabeled sinularia etc.
 
This is my Indonesian Elegance coral which was about the size of a baseball when I got it with 1" tentacles. It now has 6"+ tentacles and is the size of a grapefruit. Absolutely in love with my Elegance.

Ended up finding some nice pieces on LA, blueish-purple Litophyton and Green Nepthea will get some pics when they get acclimated good.

Finally got some "decent" iPhone photos of the softies. LEDs and camera phones mix like water and electricity.
