LPS and Macro Algae

[Bryn]

This will not happen straight away, but I'm hoping to add LPS corals to my macro tank at some point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but LPS can take a slightly "dirtier water"?

I'm also looking for suggestions on which LPS's would be the most appealing in a macro tank, as well as having more flowing movement to them to work with the macro. My first thought was Sun Polyps (Tubastraea faulkneri). A lot of the macros do not need high flow rates, so moderate flow corals would also be a benefit.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Definitely easier to keep than SPS. I like the Acans corals, don't require as much light and will take supplemental feedings.

I plan on having plenty of copepods and amphipods for the corals to catch and feed on, as I will not have any fish to eat them. Is this a good or bad idea?
