Best soft corals for beginners

Best soft corals?

 

[BOYERZ]

Zoas, palys, clove polyps. All are invasive though.

Leathers, finicky though.

With less experience than many on here, my personal votes would be:
Ricordea Florida
Sinularia
*but that's 'cause those are the cheap ones from LFS that my daughters like and have done best in MY specific tank

Not sure why but zoas did great in my tank for first year then went downhill (but I'll leave that alone).

Best soft corals?

Ive struggled with Zoas personally, but agree with the Ricordea. Look into both Florida and Yuma, they’re gorgeous corals.

Most leathers do well if given plenty of flow - especially when they’re shedding.

Zoas are not beginner corals. Their selective trace element and Nutrient requirements makes them harder to keep than acroporas.
