Looking for Advice - What Beginner Soft Corals to Add

[KeeganDuBrown]

I've had my 55 gallon tank setup for ~ a year and a half. I'd like to add a couple beginner soft corals, and I'm not sure what to get.

I'd like something pretty to look at, but since I'm new I'd really like something cheap and easy to grow (that won't take over my tank).

Thank you for any tips!

Euphyllia are easy. Hammer, torch, frogspawn, etc. My 2 first corals were a hammer and a GSP. The hammer has tripped in size despite my mistakes.

Leather corals for sure. Green star polyps are very pretty but are invasive after a while. If you isolate it on a rock on surrounded by the sand bed it helps out.

Mushrooms are pretty solid begininners as well. Don’t go crazy high end. I have a couple different types.

Ducans are also a nice easy coral.
