LPS Corals
LPS corals represent the intersection of structure and living motion, built on solid skeletal foundations with large, fleshy polyps that expand, inflate, and respond dynamically within the reef. Their bold coloration and pronounced feeding response create a constantly shifting presence, bringing depth, scale, and interaction into the system.
Thriving under moderate lighting and indirect flow, LPS corals allow for full polyp extension and natural movement without the intensity required by higher-demand stony species. Their ability to actively feed and react to their environment makes them both visually expressive and biologically responsive within a balanced reef.
With a generally moderate care level, LPS corals are more forgiving than high-demand stony species while still requiring stability, proper spacing, and controlled placement. Many develop defensive sweeper tentacles and expand significantly over time, rewarding patience with growth, structure, and increasingly dominant presence as they mature.

Torches
Long, flowing tentacles with bright, contrasting tips, Torch corals create one of the most recognizable and dynamic movements in the reef. Known for their strong extension and reactive nature, they require stable conditions, moderate lighting, and controlled flow to maintain full form and coloration. With a moderate care level and the potential for aggressive sweeper tentacles, they demand proper spacing while rewarding placement with striking motion and dominant visual presence.

Frogspwan
Frogspawn corals are a part of the Euphyllia group, they have dense branching heads with flowing, bubble-tipped tentacles, Frogspawn corals create a softer, more clustered movement compared to other Euphyllia. Known for their rhythmic extension and vibrant coloration, they thrive under moderate lighting and gentle, indirect flow that allows full expansion without stress. With a moderate care level and potential for sweeper tentacles, they require spacing while rewarding stable conditions with bold structure and constant motion.

Hammer Corals
Hammer corals are part of the Euphyllia group, named for their distinct hammer-shaped tentacle tips that give each polyp its recognizable form. They move slowly with a gentle side-to-side sway, expanding gradually under moderate lighting and soft, indirect flow. Due to their sweeper tentacles, spacing is required when placed near other corals.

Lobophyllia Corals
Lobophyllia corals develop thick, fleshy lobes with deep folds and vivid coloration that expand and contract throughout the day. Their inflated tissue and textured surface create a bold, sculptural presence that shifts with feeding and light. Best kept under moderate lighting and gentle, indirect flow, they are a more forgiving LPS that still requires stable placement and space due to their tissue expansion and potential for contact aggression.
