Soft corals can be very low maintainance, and quite impressive looking.

So can some hard corals.

I'm considering using compact florescent lighting (and not metal
halides). Will the soft corals be OK with these?

Many will, yes.

I don't really want
the heat associated with metal halides.

Don't blame you. I got rid of my halide/actinic comba, and put in T5
lighting.

I'm trying to do as much reading as I can right now. I have seen a
number of pictures on the internet showing large tanks with both soft
corals and large angelfish (i.e. Koran Angelfish, Emperor Angelfish).
Does anyone know how these people are getting away with this? I'm
guessing that eventually the corals (they look like soft leather
corals) must be replaced. Won't angelfish like this eat soft corals?
This is what I always thought. If anyone has any insight on this, I
would appreciate some guidance. If there is a way to maintain a large
aquarium with both soft corals and Angelfish, I would really be
interested.
