Dumb question

[korbynlehr]

What is the difference in LPS and SPS? I know what they mean but is one have polyps that extend farther or what? Can someone post a picture of an LPS and one of a SPS so we can actually see the major difference?

Here is a link to an internet retailer that has corals divided into the "major" categories (I'm not endorsing anything, just knew they had lots of pictures including LPS and SPS):

For MOST of the species that fall into either LPS or SPS categories, its a very obvious difference in poly size.

www.liveaquaria.com has a good list of corals too.
