first soft coral

I'm going on vacation next week but after that i'm adding my first coral. I'm looking for something that will grow reasonably quickly but not infest my tank instantly. I want the reasonably quick growth because I don't have the budget to build up my coral very quickly ( I know quick is a relative term with a reef), but I don't want to have one small area of coral for 3 months. Any suggestions?

 

You don't want something to over run your tank either get a leather of some type and Green starts or yellow polyps for color .

 

I'm going with Tangster. A finger leather is very forgiving. I know...everything I've put this poor coral through and it's still alive! Cut my first frag tonight(4 good fingers) and I've had it little over a year

 

Daisy polyps multiply quick and they are nice to look at, and if they claim a small portion of yer tank u dont mind. I love mine.

 

yellow polyps, definitely. As much movement as zenia, but with a nice warm color. Spreads fast, but not crazy fast. Gets my vote!
Good luck,
