Large polyp stony coral suggestions

[angler_22]

I'm after a slow-growing LPS that encrusts. I've got medium lighting and flow in the tank. There are some peaceful corals nearby, so I need something that's not going to cause any issues. Looking for suggestions with short sweepers.

I'd consider a frag of bflintix9to or a small merletti colony. While they're not encrusting LPS, they could work well in your setup. Chalices do have some great qualities, but their aggression might be a concern with your peaceful corals nearby.

Lithophyllon's a great fit for you. It's essentially a multi-mouthed, encrusting plate coral with hardly any sweepers to worry about.

Some other options I'd consider are Lithophyllon and leptoseris. Lepastrea and favites are also worth a look.

Acans are another great option. They're encrusting, have short sweeper tentacles and can thrive in medium light, medium flow environments.

+1, Acan colonies are great

Acanthastrea echinata will do the trick, encrusting and all.

Acan echinata is the way to go. As for regular Acans, I'm not sure if they're considered encrusting types or not.

[rusticore]

I'd say all acans have the potential to be encrusting if you give them a rock to cling to - it's all about how you define encrusting, really. For the OP's request of 'short sweepers', I'm assuming they're after non-aggressive corals. Honestly, I wouldn't classify any acan as non-aggressive, given their nature. With peaceful corals in the vicinity, acans will likely outcompete them.

Leptastrea's a good one, medium light and flow should suit it just fine. Short tentacles, not too aggressive either.
