Caring for LPS Corals
LPS corals, while stunning, require specific care to thrive. Here are some general care tips:
- Lighting: LPS corals generally prefer moderate lighting. It’s essential to ensure that they’re not exposed to intense light for extended periods, as this can cause bleaching.
- Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal for LPS corals. Too strong a flow can damage the polyps, while too weak a flow can lead to sediment accumulation.
- Feeding: LPS corals benefit from supplemental feeding. Foods like coral pellets, phytoplankton, and zooplankton can be beneficial.
- Water Parameters: Ensure that your tank’s water parameters are stable. Regularly check the levels of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, as these are crucial for the coral’s growth.
- Placement: Place your LPS corals in a location where they can receive adequate light and flow but are protected from aggressive tank mates.
