What are some easy sps corals that arent montipora

Seriatopora (birdsnest) aren't too demanding

Okay. Right now i have a green birdsnest, monti cap and a green tort. I herd millis are easier

 

[lakeviewink]

Eh, any Acropora is going to be somewhat demanding. I wouldn't say they are easy, IMO

Honestly I think sps is easier than zoas, I've lost way more zoas and palys than sps :\

I have found Bonsai's (GARF or similar variant) to the hardiest of the SPS.

I think a lot of times birdsnest, montis and such are often mislabeled as "easy". Depends on what the definition of easy is. They do well in lower light and grow fast but those corals are often the first to show signs of problems if water parameters aren't optimal.

Same here. I can't fix zoas when they start to melt. I can sometimes fix sps if they start to go south and many times I can tell what happened by looking at the coral.

I love Seriatopora Hystrix. When you say it is easy, what do you really mean? Is it because they rarely give you any troubles?

Birdsnest grows fast and is one of the easiest sps to keep. Doesn't need quite as stable of a tank. I would say it is forgiving compared to other sps.

Keep your parameters "STABLE" and it will make all corals "easier" to keep.

All acropora are harder than montis, birdsnest, poci and stylophora. Of the acropora, most stags are easier than the rest - slimers, for example. Millepora are not all that easy.

I agree with JDA. Start with a piece of green slimer.
