Learn About The 4 Different Types of Coral
-
Non-Photosynthetic
Non-photosynthetic corals are a type of coral that are unable to utilize the process of photosynthesis to feed themselves. Typically these corals are found in deeper water or cave areas where light does not reach. Without exception these types corals MUST have the appropriate food provided to them in your aquarium to guarantee their long term survival.

Small Polyp Stony
SPS (Small Polyp Stony) is a term many hobbyists use to identify a group of corals that are at least somewhat similar in the way they appear or are cared for. SPS’s always have hard skeletons and have particularly small polyps – typically not much bigger than the head of a pin, even though there ins’t actually a set size requirement. To someone who is new to coral hobbyists, SPS’s can be quite intimidating. They come in a variety of different colors and forms and are quite often stunningly beautiful. I must add though, the level of care and attention they require is quite a bit more than usual beginner corals like soft corals or large polyp stony.

Large Polyp Stony
LPS (Large Polyp Stony) is a term term used by coral hobbyists to desribe particular types of coral. These corals typically have very large, distinct and fleshy polyps over a hard skeleton. Many different corals are included in the group. Some are Hydnophora, brains and chalices. Because of the wide variety there is quite a bit of variability when it comes to their care and the best conditions for them. However, there are some basic general guidelines. Here’s a link where you can learn more about their care

Soft Corals
Soft corals are what we call ‘non-reefbuilding’ corals. Why? Because when they die, they disappear leaving absolutely no skeleton behind. What’s interesting is the lack of skeleton is what allows this particular coral to have a far greater degree of flexibility and actually feel much softer than those others corals that have skeletons. Soft corals are some of the most popular and widely available corals because of their ease to keep healthy and maintain.
