Actually all the corals you named are LPS & yes,
generally LPS is hardier than SPS.

ohhhh my God, you just shock my world..
so you�re saying that a torch or hammer is hardier than a open brain
or a
fire coral?
so the
jelly corals are hardier than stony corals??? i thought just
the
opposite thing!!!
the
moon is then a LPS right? and a fire is a SPS??
ohhh
my god, at LFS in here they tell you stony corals are hardier than
those who moves with the water like hammer or torch

LPS: Frogspawn/Hammer/Torch/Open Brain
SPS: Acropora/Pocillapora/Tubinaria/Closed Brain
The difference is that the SPS are rigid corals that do not
move in the
current. LPS are large polyped, jelly
like corals that move a lot when
current is blown on
them. LPS take large prey items, SPS take tiny prey
items. If you can see the mouth on the coral plainly, then chances
are you
are looking at an LPS.
