Small Polyped Stony Corals (SPS) are the foundation of the ocean's reefs. In the wild the calcium-rich skeletons of SPS corals lend their structure, stability and protection to thousands of other reef life forms including fish, invertebrates and more fragile coral species.

A thriving SPS reef tank is an amazing thing to behold. The variety of colors and morphisms are what keep reef aquarium hobbyists constantly searching for new ways to improve their ability to care for and raise these delicate creatures. Regular improvements in coral farming (now commonly referred to as "aquaculture") have provided the hobby with new and exciting species that were never before available, without harming the fragile ecosystem of the coral reefs.
