The best coral to get is one that your lights will support and one that you LOVE. All the rest depends on the coral itself.

How do I know if I can put them together? I have a current USA marine led. I know this is probably only good for soft corals.. I will eventually add a stronger light in combination.

Do you want to know if you can put certain softies together? Well, I'm no expert on which ones get along with each other, but a good thing to do would be to take pictures of what you want to buy and post them in the soft coral section of the forum and ask about compatibility. LiveAquaria is another option to find out basics about corals and fish before purchase.

I have a tank full of softies and have them very close together and some are touching. They all seem to be getting along together. I was told that softies are easier to care for (?) And so far all I've had to do with them is look at them and enjoy them. I hope it remains this way.

Softies SPREAD! All over the place! Keep this in mind when choosing.

Also keep in mind that wen they spread, it's cool looking!

most softies play well together even when touching. one problem is they don't stop growing. one coral may overlap another and block the light. my tank is only two years old, but I have been doing more fragging, trying to give each coral room.
