What is the name of a large soft coral that I can use for a project?

[annaherr]

I am looking for either the scientific name or common name of a large soft coral that I can research for a project. Any ideas would be appreciated! Corals that I have already used in this project are the brain corals, staghorn/elkhorn corals, table coral and broccoli coral.

Try toadstool leather, or colt coral. Both get quite large.

Some Sinularias can get large, too, but the largest I've seen are toadstool leathers (Sarcohphyton).

Sinularia sp., Nephthea sp., Capnella sp., Cladiella sp. (Colt) can all get pretty large. Sarcophyton's and Lobophytum's can get pretty sizable, too.

Depending on the experiment, encrusting softies like Clavularia (virdis, et al), Briareum sp., and Anthelia (and other Xeniids) can cover large areas of rock in short amounts of time.
