Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying corals on Meta Reef
What types of corals can I buy on Meta Reef?
Meta Reef aggregates coral listings across three main categories: LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals like Torch, Hammer, and Frogspawn; SPS (Small Polyp Stony) corals like Acropora and Montipora; and Soft corals including Zoanthids, Mushrooms, and Leather corals. Each category includes dozens of specific coral types from 30+ coral stores and hobbyist sellers across the United States.
What is the difference between LPS and SPS corals?
LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals have larger, fleshier polyps and generally require moderate light and flow—popular examples include Torch corals, Hammer corals, and Acans. SPS (Small Polyp Stony) corals have tiny polyps on a stony skeleton and typically need higher light and flow—examples include Acropora and Montipora. Care difficulty varies by species within each category: some LPS like Goniopora are challenging, while some SPS like Montipora are relatively forgiving.
What corals are best for beginners?
Beginner-friendly corals include soft corals like Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Green Star Polyps, and Xenia—these tolerate a wider range of water parameters and lighting conditions. Hardy LPS corals like Candy Cane corals and Duncan corals also work well for new reef keepers. On Meta Reef, browse the Beginner Friendly category to filter for corals rated easy to care for by experienced hobbyists.
