LPS Corals

124 species

LPS, or Large Polyp Stony corals, are a diverse group of corals known for their large, fleshy polyps and calcareous skeletons. They are often the centerpiece of a reef aquarium due to their impressive sizes and vibrant colors. LPS corals include species like Euphyllia (Hammer, Frogspawn, and Torch corals), Acanthastrea, and Favites. These corals require moderate to low water flow and lighting conditions, and benefit from supplemental feeding of plankton or other meaty foods. They can be sensitive to changes in water quality, so maintaining stable parameters is crucial for their health. LPS corals can also exhibit aggressive behavior towards other corals by extending their sweeper tentacles, so adequate spacing is important in the aquarium.
