Coral Acronym

[doktor doris]

hullo all,

As I may have remarked upon before, Iam gettingmore and more tempted by marine.

However, what does the SPS in SPS coral refer to?

There is also another acronym which is often used with corals, which eludes my memory at the moment.

What is that too, please?

thanks
