Acronyms?

Is there a sticky or FAQ with the acronyms, abbreviations and nicknames used here listed somewhere? Because ATM IDK what LTBA, SPSC, cap, acan, scoly, RBTA, GFP, ATS, LE, LPS or most of the dozens of others mean. RSVP and TGIF.

Some of those are abbreviations rather than acronyms. Cap is probably referring to montipora capricornis, acan is acanthastrea, and scoly is scolymia. And this is just a guess, but LTBA is probably some kind of long-tentacle anemone.
