Soft coral recommendations

[Softplan]

I'm moving to softies from an sps dominant tank. I had a dosing pump misshap and lost a few high end corals. I don't want the stress anymore about my water parameters being perfect.

I would like some soft corals with different colors and vibrant. What would everyone recommend.

Running rapid led diy fixtures (2) with 36 leds on each. I feed phyto plankton and coral food 2 to 3 times a week. Skim fairly wet and have a filter sock. 75 gallon sump with decent section for a refugium with 4 types of algae. The water stays pretty clean.

Those are LPS, grow a skeletal base and can require dosing etc in order to remain healthy. You can mix a few in with softies and get away with regular water changes but providing the flow that soft corals like is often too much for LPS. I do have an acan frag in my tank and it does well with the flow but they aren't as fleshy as the ones you mentioned.

For soft corals, yellow Fuji and tongas, green neptheas, blue devils hand, green sinularis and some zoas would be a good start. Colt corals can also be really nice. Rastas are a cool shape but usually are a tan color. Same with cabbage corals. The fijis, tongas and neptheas like a lot of light and my blue devils hand seems to like it as well. The Rasta does well with less light and colt corals can do well with the least (although mine seems to like a decent amount of light). Like any other coral, acclimate to the light slowly.
