I've been out of the loop (and the country) but I'll get the "Voting" aspect done tonight so we can get that going ASAP!

lbiminiblue no zoas are not SPS or LPS. Remember the key to SPS and LPS is the STONY aspect of the name.

• LPS stands for Large Polyp Stony
  [*]SPS stand for Small Polyp Stony

And as far as a "general" term try this for their requirements:

• LPS good flow, good light, good quality water
• SPS high flow, high light, great water quailty

Zoas are "loosely" considered in the "Softie" category by many which also might include Leathers, Palys, mushrooms etc..


A GREAT resource for any dedicated reefer might be
