tall softy

[Fishmommy]

I have an area of my tank I will be looking for a softy to fill. I would like one that grows fairly tall, and it can certainly be wide as well.
I was thinking Colt or Toadstool leather - not sure if those fit the bill or not.
Suggestions?

SPS will be present in the tank, though not in the line of flow of this spot.

I would go with the colt coral. They get HUGE. Kenyas self propogate and its annoying to have tons of frag babies all over the tank. I have this problem right now. You could also look into gorgonians.

thanks all! I think it's a colt for me

i vote for the colt they get tall and are hardy

i vote for corky finger gorgonian...tall & bushy...that or the coveted palau nepthea

i vote for NEVER putting corky sea finger in your aquarium, unless its the only thing you want in there, but by your description it doesn't sound like the encrusting corky ive seen. Look up the ORA gorgonian, i forget what the species is but it looks like a sea pen

Where can you find a LARGE colt or Kenya?

sinulara gets large and tall mine green one is 18 or so inches tall as tall as my tank and the main trunk is twice the diameter of a pop can. the offshoot trunks are a few inches across, its a monster. it looks good under t5 and crazy under LED

Grube's Gorgonian can get pretty tall if you let them. Two years:
