*super Green Welsophyllia * Candy*?

[saltwatergal]

I wanted to add some more soft coral to my reef tank.
I came across these two names "Super Green Welsophyllia" and "Candy Coral". I can't seem to find any information on these corals.
Could someone please tell me if they are in the soft coral family.
Or are they a hard coral?
Also can you put a Blue (Linckia ) Starfish with a Green Brittle Starfish in the same tank together?
I have a 46 bow reef tank!
I would appreciate any feedback on this!
Thanks!

Did the Candy look like this?

If so, these are Bullseye/Trumpet
Caulastrea echinulata
Also sometimes known as CandyCane corals

I've had a wellsyphilia for over 6 months now and it is the centerpiece of my tank. During the day it inflates with water and looks magnificent. I have a mix of blue and green but I've seen them with purple, red, blue and green. The base is hard and I don't feed it. It needs good lighting and medium current. Any other info you'd have to check the web. Unfortunately the candy coral I had never made it. I was suprised because it is supposed to be hardy.

Thanks for the feedback on the coral.
I have ordered the Welsophyllia Coral.
I hope it is the focus of my tank like it is yours.
Also thanks for the picture of the coral.

Both of these hard corals are fantastic, but I think you made the right choice if you had to choose between the two. The weslophylia is an awesome coral, very vibrant colors. As soon as I get my Icecap ballasts on my 100-gal reef, I'm going to go with one. Hope yours does well!

I Know I Will Enjoy The Super Green Welsophyllia Coral.
I Will Send A Picture As Soon As It Becomes Settled In It New Surroundings!
Thanks Again!
