Frogspawn Coral

Frogspawn Coral

Fimbriaphyllia divisa

Care Level Easy to moderate
Lighting Moderate
Water Flow Low to moderate
Placement Low to mid rock
Aggression Aggressive — sweeper tentacles
Coloration Green or tan with pale tips

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.
