Overview of LPS Corals?

[Kitjo]

Does anyone have a good resource for information/education on LPS care?

I’ve found a ton of very general information on this site and other sites, and I’ve also found very specific individual species information.

But I’d love to find a resource that gives a birds-eye view and works down.
- overview of families and species
- similarities in care of families and species
- what makes one family or species easier or more difficult
- interactions between species (so I know which corals to place near each other and which ones to keep apart)
- etc.

Thanks for any recommendations!

Broad question…This might have to be a community effort…

I’m not looking for someone to write an answer for me for all my questions, but for a resource that has that information

This might just do it for you:

You can select the individual LPS types by name and they link to the specific cora's info pages.

And then there's this very enlightening article by Borneman of various LPS that are comoon in the reef keeping hobby in their respective environments (Indonesia):

It's a bit dated (2002) as some of the LPS scientific names have been changed, but still an interesting read.
