The one you had for free

yeah, people kept asking for photos and if I had other corals I was giving away. no one actually really wanted it so trash it went. I like having a few softies in the tank since they take in some po4 but I needed the space in the frag tank.

Just got the horse tank up a week ago so probably said nah don't need it. Wasn't thinking ahead.

Just picked up a tiny thread of what you said here I had no idea that softies sucked up PO4 more than say other Coral’s. Is this anecdotal or significant? Are there any articles or detail anybody can add here. Sorry but this is BIG news to me. How in the world this is the first time I have put this info together is making my head spin. I realize softies like nutrient rich water and can certainly handle higher nitrates and phosphates. But to the point that it can help PO4. Is staggering info. PLEASE if anybody has additional info. START A THREAD.

I've seen this...some people have used xenia corals as a refugium and just harvested them as such.

Soft corals in general prefer "dirtier" tanks....but dirtier meaning higher nutrient levels not dirty like algae infested
 
Just the purple ones
I will take pic. Funny thing is I have same ones in different tanks. And oddly enough. If I can refer to the conversation about soft corals preferring dirtier or more nutrient water. The one in the High nutrient soft tank (I really need to do a water change) is reddish. But the one in my low nutrient mixed reef is much whiter. Hmmmm makes me think.
 
Two pictures of the same one. I hope they’re clear enough.
