Colorful soft corals that aren't green or orange?

sixline · Jun 13, 2021

My tank is slowly progressing, and looks great at night when the lights shift more towards the blue spectrum.

It's a mixed reef, but mostly softies. Most of the brighter specimens are greenish (like euphylia and GSP) or orange (like yuma). I also have some less colorful corals that are interesting for other reasons (Bali Xenia, pulsing sinularia, etc).

Any suggestions for bright corals that can compete with my green and orange? Softies preferred.

Plenty of acans and mushrooms out there that have red in them.

Some of these will be more $$ than others and some are a bit rare so probably best if you enjoy a hunt for a rare reward. Definitely need to research them to know how to keep each healthy and color looking the best. They tend to look better under a more white/crisp spectrum instead of being washed out in a heavy blue tank. Most of these will actually sell well and quickly when offered up for sale so there are fragging opportunities if you can grow them.
