Soft Coral That Looks Like SPS?

[Stepho725]

Is there any soft/lower light coral that look more like SPS?

I think my finger leather looks alot like a sps coral. Chalice (not softie) are great encrusting coral.

What does encrusting actually mean? I am getting a frag of Chalice this wknd.

Some species of sinularia and lobophytum superficially resemble sps, epecially the stubbier species that come from more turbulent zones. You wont match the variety or intensity of colors of sps. Among other "softies," ricordea, zoanthids, and flower anemones have coloration that rivals sps.
