A big noob question. What is LPS, SPS ? How can you tell the difference? Whats the difference between the 2 and softcoral?

Is there a good webpage that descirbes these different types of coral that I could read?

Thanks

LPS and SPS are very broad and over used terms. They stand for Large polyp stony and small polyp stony corals. They have a hard skelatal structure where as softies like shrooms do not. Here is a link for you and anyone that wants to tell me that these terms are acceptable.
