The **Young Soft Coral** is a distinctive and seldom-seen coral species in aquarium settings. These corals typically exhibit a white base and arms, adorned with tan-brown polyps. They grow in a branching pattern from a substantial base.

**Young Soft Corals** can be positioned anywhere in the aquarium, requiring moderate to high water flow and lighting. To ensure optimal placement, initially position the coral in your chosen spot and observe it over a couple of days. If it appears stressed, adjust its location slightly until it appears more extended.

These corals are aggressive and should not be placed too close to other corals. **Young Soft Corals** can expand their size significantly and may attack neighboring corals.

They primarily obtain nutrition through photosynthesis and the water column, but you can enhance their diet with meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp, as well as micro-plankton during the evening.
