My landlord's wife really likes my tank and I want her to have fun with it, too. Problem is, most of the coral she likes are softies, like ricordea, Kenya tree and colt, while I like the LPS. Which softies are least invasive so I can let her get a few without them taking over?

To those who know about my latest disaster, don't worry. This is for future reference.
 
Sympodium (no it's not like Xenia)any of the Pipe Organs, Toadstool.
 
Toadstool
Fiji Leather
Devils Hand
Finger Leather
All the NPS Softies
Cabbage Leather
Elephant Ear Leather
Flexible Leather
Colt Corals generally in good water conditions
 
Ricordeas would be a great choice. They look great as colonies and are worth a decent amount if she ever needed to sell or trade chunks if she has too many.

Some nice zoas would be a good choice too. Just be careful not to get the invasive morphs.
 
Something that looks great in any tank are the neon green sinularias/neptheas.
Not a real fast grower, but still has great color.
 
I agree, ricordeas can be quite beautiful and can be managed. A nice toadstool would be a good addition too.

What are the invasive morphs?
 
They all are, ya gotta put them on their own island or they will in time take over the tank. But its a time thing, doesn't happen overnite.
