Soft corals can be aimed at beginners. This is because they have bigger mouths, making them easier to feed, and do not require intense high-quality lighting. They also generally prefer tanks with slightly higher levels of PO4 and NO3 (phosphate and nitrate). Soft corals reproduce very easily, and their need for less lights and make them ideal aquacultured corals for people who are just starting out.

A hard, stony coral with a large “flower” type head, LPS corals require more maintenance due to their skeletal stony base being harder to look after. They also take in more calcium and alkalinity, meaning that its water needs to be more regularly replenished. I recommend the use of a 2 part or 3 part dosing regime. When it comes to the feeding process, LPS corals require the same treatment as soft coral.

SPS corals can grow quickly and assume a stick or encrusting-like structure. They require more advanced maintenance for a number of reasons. Their small polyps, for instance makes is harder to feed, along with necessitating stronger light. Their quick growth means that its calcium carbonate skeleton uses up more elements in the water, so constant and consistent replenishment is particularly important for maintaining proper health.
