Small Polyped Stony (SPS) corals have small polyps on a calcareouss skeleton. In many instances they are either branching or plated and have a very strong skelton, comprised of the typical Calcium Carbonate, arranged in honeycomb shapes, lending to a light weight and incredibly strong structure. SPS hard corals are generally considered more difficult to keep than the LPS or soft corals and are not recommended for beginners. Bright lighting and very strong currents are the two most determining factors for success with these corals.
