Start conservatively and acclimate gradually. Avoid placing a new LPS directly under intense light.
LPS Coral Buying Guide
LPS corals are known for large, fleshy polyps and vivid movement. Many prefer moderate lighting and moderate, indirect flow, but requirements vary by species.
Use enough flow to gently move tissue without blasting or folding the coral against its skeleton.
Allow room for sweeper tentacles. Torches and other aggressive LPS can sting nearby corals.

Care needs vary by coral. Review the individual listing and contact Gem State Corals if you need placement or compatibility help before ordering.
