Do you have an LPS-only system? I’d love to see it! Also, answers to any of the questions below would be a great addition.
  1. Why did you decide to keep only LPS?
  2. What do you find to be the most challenging aspect about keeping only LPS?
  3. How do you feed your system?
  4. Have you ever kept anything other than LPS?
    1. What do you miss most about soft corals and/or SPS corals?​
    2. What do you miss least about soft corals and/or SPS corals?​
 
I have an LPS only system and I keep an LPS only system because I want a tank that is easy to keep and that is not that much work. I target feed reef roids once a week because I only have a few torches and blastos. I also have several other tanks that are mixed-reef.
 
LPS focused with zoas and a handful of mushrooms. The zoas and mushrooms were to fill in the space between LPS colonies.

I feed only frozen foods.

I have kept everything from toadstools to acros. I've had some huge sps colonies in previous tanks.

SPS are boring. They look nice in pics but it's dull in real life. LPS have lots of movement but won't take over your take in 6 months like Xenia, sinularia, etc can.
 
I had a LPS only system Intill I introduced a acropora a but ago. Have a 3g mummie eye chalice. cherry Garcia chalice. Hammer. Rainbow ricordhae. It's still running just not lps only now. Happy reefffffinnggg
