SPS stands for Small Polyp Stony. These corals are characterized by their small polyps, which form colonies of genetically identical polyps. Each polyp is an individual living organism. SPS corals are stunning but can be challenging to care for due to their need for high-quality water and intense lighting. They are best suited for experienced hobbyists. Species include acropora, montipora, stylophora, speciosa, and more.
