Soft corals are flexible, flowing corals that add loads of movement and colour to a reef without the demanding care needs of many SPS species. They generally prefer low to moderate light and gentle to moderate flow, making them ideal for a wide range of tanks, including newer and mixed reefs. Most softies are more tolerant of slight nutrient and parameter swings, so they’re a great choice for hobbyists who want a fuller, more natural reef look without chasing ultra-strict numbers. From leathers and toadstools to Xenia, cloves and more, soft corals are perfect for creating a lively, “waving” reef scape.
