Just an FYI - Blue Clavularia is really Sarcothelia edmondsoni
 
The back wall is covered in Briareum known as GSP but not the original GSP. The original is Pachyclavularia and its a short tentacle on the polyp. Briareum is a long tentacle and bright.

Sinularia Brassica also known as the Cabbage coral. I like the little polyps dotted about it.

The Candelabra Gorgonian is a lovely bright photosynthetic gorg. But feeding them is recommended to keep them in A1 condition.

The Grubes gorgonian is the most hardy gorgonian it, it is like a weed

Lovely video and beautiful tank. Softies are awesome!
 
The Rumphella gorgonian is a new one to me its a pretty boring brown polyp thing with a pale body. It seems hardy as the file fish liked taking chunks off it, after a week it' almost recovered.

Your tank is beautiful! I am also the care taker of a softie tank and it is awesome to see this! I was wondering in your video there is a crazy different looking fish annoying your clowns...what is it??
 
And finally Capnella Imbricata the famous Kenya Tree Coral. This is a boring brow colour polyp with light coloured stem, but for me its a must it grows quick and gives massive movement. The grows quick bit is good, with a pair of scissors thats £3 a frag to go in the pot for new corals.

Thank you..... The yellow one or the the white spotted one.
 
@SAPPER Anyway you could list some of the names for your softies in the video. I’m going all softies but don’t have enough experience to know the different names yet. Maybe if it’s not to much to ask and when you get time a brief description of the softies with its name. Really looking forward to your reply because I’m ready to start learning and adding some cool softies. Thanks so much for the video. Much appreciated!!!!
There I have listed most of what' in there
 
Just noticed your location is in the UK. I just got home on the 8th / Sunday morning from the UK. Two week stay in Reading and Newbury for work. The bank holiday(s) around Easter made it a bit difficult to get around and visit but I did make it around those two towns and a day in London. Also Portsmounth(?) and Stonehenge on Easter. Weather killed me - I think I saw maybe the sun once or twice :( Reminded me a lot of like Seattle when I traveled there. Still wrecked from the jet lag.
Oh what a shame.... that's the rubbish end of England I live up north near the wall in the countryside. It can rain up here and still look good.
 
Lol I have some snake polyps but not St Patrick's
 
I have two Hydra 52HD over this Red Sea S500, I plan on putting a 26HD between them. It has three 2,150lph circulation pumps built in but I only use 2 as one broke. Then I have a maxspect Gyre Xf250 that ramps between 20%-40%.
 
@SAPPER Great job. Thank you for this. The ones that don’t feed on light, what do you use to feed them? I’m eager to do research and find some of these beauties on the web!
