Is there such a thing that the water quality is to perfect for LPS..I noticed since my water has been perfect for the last 3 months that my SPS have done excellent but my LPS have not.. Could this be the cause? or is it something else
 
You may need to target feed them more.
Really clean water allows light to penetrate better.
Sps will love the stronger light LPS might not.

How are they reacting.
And what do u mean "PERFECT" water?
Ur parameters.

This +1. My SPS were growing like gangbusters while the LPS and softies were not. Finally did more spot feeding of the LPS and softies, and now they are growing out as well.
