Soft Coral Dominated Tanks... Let's See 'em

[forddna]

Is it common to find them in that color?? I need something to contrast with my stuff!! Here's my FTS..

I was fortunate to acquire the Toadstool, Nepthea (or was it Sinularia??), and Devil's Hand recently - so they were that big when i got them! The rest of my tank needs to grow out to catch up.

My mostly softie 75g. Tank is 10months old so most of my stuff still needs time to grow out to look like some of the beautiful tanks here, but they all have to start somewhere.

FTS from this morning, shot at an angle because of glare issues.

Giant Cup mushroom.

Haddoni Carpet (will have to go soon, the 2 anemones are both growing an inch plus per month)

Yuma

cabbage

this used to be an LPS tank. I took them all out except 2 lobos and a FS/Hammer (can't tank this one out b/c it's my clowns home )

this is my other softie tank:::::

ok, I did a 180g upgrade. this tank was going to be my fuge. However, I found that my leather corals were so big and I didn't want them to be in the 180g, this has now become my 'LEATHER TANK".

toadstool is really pretty when it's laying flat, the finger beside is also nice, I've got cabbage bottom right, some snake polyps bottom left and one smaller toadstool bottom left (can't see). I had bought a bunch of macro, but something has eaten it all except for the mangroves of course so my leather tank it shall be

What I love mostly of soft coral tanks is that they look the most natural. Not that SPS dominated tanks aren't beautiful, they just look to antiseptic. Too coordinated. Too perfect. They are more gardens to me than a natural aquarium. And if I had a camera I'd totally post mine up here as well. (spent everything on the tank itself, so didn't have cash for the camera haha)

Hey Guys. Here's mine.

I know I know. Not super colorful. There a lot of cool mushrooms that decided to migrate to places we can't see them anymore. haha.

Also battling the cursed aptasia.

Sorry for the funky black spots. Used a panorama maker to get a good detail of everything, but it wanted the picture to be too narrow. lol.

I have tons of mushrooms and zoa's in my tank, but no leathers. I do have sps also, but I thought you might want to see the mushrooms.

how are these happy in a 65 gallon tank???????????
