What's up guys, these are my picks for beginner soft corals. Do you have a different list?

[jeffsreeftank]

Than I'm not sure what is sharper, your images or your wardrobe choices. Nice video 👍🏾

[iatranger]

Tidal gardens is by far the best source of information for those starting out in the hobby . Great content, great video and picture quality and brilliantly put together . Keep them coming Than .

I’ve been searching long and hard through the garbage videos on YouTube, and finally found your incredible channel. Subscribed and very grateful for your concisely presented and incredibly informative videos. Thank you.

Great list, I've been in the hobby about 13 years and still keep pom pom xenia. It's contained to the overflow and I don't let it get out of control. One thing worth mentioning for beginners is your first tank is rarely your last and people who get really into the hobby tend to upgrade relatively quickly. So if your first tank is filled with fast growing softies not only will it look great faster, it may encourage you to upgrade to a larger tank and you don't necessarily
have to move all of those giant softies over.

I have gone the whole circle from softies to lps and then sps but am back to softies, espesially gorgonians and leathers, just love them

[ktollefson]

You have the most relaxing manner, and most frank discussion of coral care. Thanks for your videos!

My tank crashed about a year ago and I'm getting back into it and referencing old videos.
Thanks for what you're doing for the hobby and congrats on 100K subs!

I literally watched this video 4yr ago and again just now. GREAT VIDEO

[MARINETV]

wow, you are super talented with coral photoghraghy (y)

[curtisbridgen]

Always very informative and honest opinion. Love that you don't go with the mainstream opinion on some corals. Can't wait until I can see some of your corals in person.

[charitas]

Awesome and very useful video as usual, thanks for all the mistakes you keep me from doing :). In this special video: would you mind telling me whiche species it shows at 4:58 and 9:55, please?

I have all five in a ultralow maintenance 60g Reef tank. Spot on Than. Love these types of videos.

[kalkanort]

All of the videos you post are fire. You give the best info i can find on coral tips and care!!

[calicat]

Love your videos, they have helped immensely with my new reef tank. Clear concise information given in a well thought out delivery. Even the simplest household tools that are helpful in feeding and maintaining. Thank you, thank you!!

[BlueCarbonReefing]

Than your camera work on these videos is top notch! Beautiful presentation.

I have a purple and green leather that i started as a very small frag that has grown to almost 2 feet in about 1.5 years. And that includes cutting large frags for friends. Definitely agree and recommend leathers to beginners. I have always been hit or miss with zoas for whatever reason. But the ones that do live have started to thrive. Blasto's seem to do very well in my low tech setup also. Not sure if that is due to hardiness or simply luck, but would recommend any beginner to give it a try. They are beautiful corals and have introduced me well into some harder to keep "lps". Thanks for the vid than, informative as always.

[josephcruz-trinidad]

I love softies, got a couple LPS and SPS nothing crazy but tons of softies

[bluerider]

Love these videos. Keep the informational videos coming😁.

[TheShmeebitdog]

I’m weird I can’t keep easy corals alive but the ones considered very difficult thrive in my tank but I like the look of the easy coral far better
