What're we describing as soft coral, the typical leathers and what else? Not trying to be that guy but we're an education based organization here, we should all know what soft coral looks like.

Idk, Zoanthus are technically Hexocoralia… basically wannabe SPS!

We’re counting Gorgonia sp. too right? Octocoralia and soft

Personally I’d say anything that doesn’t grow a calcium carbonate skeleton is a soft coral. Maybe that’s just me!

 

[thrillreefer]

Just any coral that is “soft” and has no hard parts? I’m comfortable with that.

It’s like trying to define “wood.” Phylogenetically, impossible. But you know it when you see it.

Must be part of an ever evolving re-classification. My quick google search told me that mushrooms are Corallimorpharia a sub class of Hexacoralia, but to keep the peace I will digress

I can't upload, keep getting an error that my images are too big. They're just iPhone pictures, and I even tried scaling them down. Is there a good way to shrink pictures to fit on here?

https://www.photoresizer.com/ is what I use.
