    What are some good beginner softies for me? I have a 90 with 120lbs of LR, a foxface, black clown, T-5 lighting, 2 strong powerheads, and a Reef Octopus BH 2000 skimmer. I recently added a couple of Kenyas, 2 button frags, and another softie that I forgot the name of. I would like a variety in the tank, but not sure what's good for my setup.

    +1 There are some pretty cool leathers that are easy to keep as well.

    I got to be honest for the short 3 days or so that I have been on this site I am truly impressed on how helpful and how quick to respond people are on this site. Thanks for your input.

    Nice setup so far! Like the fish selection! The only problem with some of the super easy corals is they spread too fast. Some of the corals mentioned like leathers are good though. Also, ricordeas and zoanthidsare fairly easy and can be quite stunning. Most corals really aren't too difficult if you do your research and keep up with maintenance. People on these forums will be able to help you keep a lot more than you might imagine. I would figure out what corals you like and let us know. We can give you pros and cons of the particular choices.
