Other LPS (REAW Category 6)
Other LPS corals need stable and ideal water quality (Temperature, Salinity, Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, pH, and low nutrients). They prefer low to moderate flow to avoid tissue damage and should be placed low to mid-level in the aquarium, away from strong, direct currents, with low to moderate lighting depending on species. Adequate spacing is important, as many Category 6 LPS can be aggressive or extend sweeper tentacles. These corals benefit from supplemental feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis, calanus, finely chopped seafood, or reef blends, which can enhance growth and coloration.
