Color Variations
Frogspawn Coral is available in several designer color morphs. The coloration is purely cosmetic — every one takes the same care described above.
Overview
The Frogspawn Coral has branching tentacles with rounded, grape-like tips that resemble a mass of frog eggs. Hardy like the hammer, it is a beautiful, forgiving Euphyllia and a great LPS for newer reefers.
Care & Placement
Give moderate light and low-to-moderate flow for full tentacle extension. Leave space from other corals for its sweeper tentacles. Mount low-to-mid on rock.
Feeding
Photosynthetic and feeds readily — target-feed meaty foods once or twice a week to speed growth and branching.
Propagation
Branching frogspawn is fragged by cutting between heads with a bone cutter, similar to hammer coral.

Cautions
AGGRESSIVE sweeper tentacles — give it room. Generally compatible with other Euphyllia (hammer/torch/frogspawn) but keep away from unrelated corals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is frogspawn coral good for beginners?
Yes. Like hammer, it’s a hardy, forgiving beginner LPS with big flowing polyps that look like a mass of frog eggs.
What light and flow does frogspawn need?
Low to moderate light and moderate indirect flow. Its polyps should sway gently and extend fully when it’s happy.
Does frogspawn sting other corals?
Yes. It has sweeper tentacles that reach out and sting neighbors, so give it a few inches of clearance from unrelated corals.
