Small-polyp stony corals such as Acropora, Montipora, Stylophora and Millepora form the backbone of natural reefs. They grow in branching, plate-like or encrusting forms and, with the right care, show exceptionally strong colours. Keeping them requires very stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels as well as low but measurable nutrients. Strong lighting and powerful, alternating flow are a must. If you test regularly and dose consistently, SPS corals will reward you with rapid growth and intense colours.
