LPS Corals For Sale

LPS or ‘Large Polyp Stony’ corals are an excellent choice for both beginner-level and experienced aquarist's. Many LPS Corals are brightly colored, fast growing, and require easy to moderate care to keep them looking good and flourishing. Perfect conditions are bright, indirect lighting and low to moderate water current. However there are many successful Large Polyp Stony coral reef tanks growing amazing corals under less than optimal lighting, water quality, or water flow. Care must be taken when placing LPS corals next to other corals in the reef aquarium as LPS corals can send out long, fine stinging sweeper tentacles at night to keep other corals from growing close to them. Many people will add new corals to their reef tank without realizing that LPS corals use up calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. This means they will not know when one or more of the three parameters experiences a change. It is important to test your reef tank calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels. Corals will do best with calcium levels of 380-440, magnesium levels of 1300-1400 and alkalinity from 9.0 to 10.0 The numbers are interconnected, a higher calcium level requires you to keep a higher magnesium and higher alkalinity. Nitrates and phosphates need to be low but not zero. Nitrates from 5 to 15 and phosphates between 0.01 to 0.10. LPS is typically more forgiving than SPS, and can tolerate nitrates and phosphates that are a little higher. LPS coral will look it's best by testing daily and then adjusting your dosing levels accordingly.
