LPS doesn't stand for Large Pretty Showpiece? Well it should!
Showpiece - something that attracts attention or admiration as an outstanding example of its type.
This week we are going to dedicate our QOTD topics to one of my most favorite types of corals, Large Polyp Stony or LPS corals. And why would LPS corals be my favorite? Well I'm glad you asked. I'm going to get technical with you here. I love LPS corals because they are generally easier to care for than SPS corals and drumroll please......They are BIGGER and more BEAUTIFUL, in my most humble of opinions. LPS just make for some epic tank showpieces!
@Reef Builders says this about LPS: LPS corals require less light than many other species, therefore they require less expensive lighting equipment for the aquarium setups. These corals are very easy to grow and require less maintenance such as water changes, chemical adjustment, and temperature regulation, etc. Maintaining LPS over the long term is easier.
So let's kick it off this week with this!
1. Are you a fan of LPS corals and if so which type is your favorite?
2. Do you have an LPS coral that you consider to be a showpiece of your tank? SHARE A PHOTO!
See any fabulous lps corals in this reef? @jourdy
