File fish safe lps corals

You looking for softies to stock? Or to feed the filefish?

To stock, I'd imagine something. Without alot of Short soft wavy polyps. I'd probably try some leathers. Toadstools in particular.

For feeding, if you have a refugium, grow out some Xenia and cultivate to feed.

Looking to stock, add some color and movement to the tank

Yeah go for some toadstools maybe some colt.
But add some Rasta/spaghetti leathers for greenish/yellow color.
Id get some green nepthea too.

Any tips on where to find some frags to try?

Not sure, I only have Tyree toadstool frags.
I have had some real nice toadstools in the past, ones with large white polyps. There's also the yellow fiji ones.

Unfortunately you don't see alot of softies frags for sale.

LFS usually has toadstool and spaghetti leathers. And often green/yellow nepthea/sinularia types.

If I were to try lps, I'd go for non-flowy polyped types... Like moons and brains.
