LPS

Large polyp stony corals (LPS) are a type of hard coral characterized by their sizable polyps and calcium carbonate skeletons. These corals typically have a more robust structure than their small polyp counterparts (SPS). LPS corals have larger, more fleshy polyps that can often be seen extended during feeding. LPS corals thrive in a variety of reef environments, often found in deeper or shaded areas where light levels can vary.
