SPS or LPS?

[Russellaqua]

I've had a few corals that I've had luck with in both LPS and SPS systems, but don't really seem to fit the "LPS" or "SPS" categories. I'm wondering what you all would categorize them as. They are:

Hydnophora
Merulina
Astreopora

Thanks!

I wouldn't categorize them... "LPS" and "SPS" are useless made up terms by hobbyists that generalize coral, which many times groups families of coral together that are anything but similar. These terms suffice for different forums on boards and retailer websites, but are otherwise useless and wildly overused.

You have the Genus name - that's what it's all about!
