I agree. To me a "soft coral" does not have any hard skeleton and is not an anemone, but obviously others have different ideas.
I'll let Tony handle that... If clarification is needed. 🙃

No, the jury isn’t out on that. Softies don’t calcify or make skeletons. An acan or Frogspawn isn’t a softie. They’re LPS, which are calcifying corals that also have soft tissue.

Let's have some fun guys. But if Glen is sneaking those Zoas in the picture he technically has a softie in the shot. But if we are wanting to play hardball then we can request a another picture....lol

well.... not entirely true. Tubipora Musica is a soft coral, however it does make a calcareous tube that it lives in. I do agree acan's an frogspawn aren't softies.

Last month was awarded to a piece of equipment. At least this is actually a coral. I’ll take it down.
