Frogspawn Coral (Euphyllia divisa) is a popular LPS (large polyp stony) coral known for its flowing, bubble-tipped tentacles that resemble frog eggs — hence the name.

It is a relatively hardy coral that adapts well to a variety of lighting and flow conditions, making it a favorite among both beginner and intermediate hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Frogspawn Coral aggressive?

Yes, Frogspawn Coral has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals, especially at night. It's considered semi-aggressive and should be given space from other species.

Can Frogspawn Coral touch other Euphyllia corals?

Frogspawn can sometimes coexist peacefully with other Euphyllia species like hammers. However, this is less true with torch corals, and they are best kept separated from torches. Compatibility depends on the individual colonies, so observe for aggression or damage before placing them close together.

Do Frogspawn Corals change color with different lighting?

Yes, Frogspawn Corals can appear quite different depending on your lighting setup. Under bluer spectrum lighting (like actinic or reef-specific LEDs), their colors often pop with enhanced fluorescence - greens may glow neon, and purples or pinks become more vivid. In whiter or more natural light, their tones can look more subdued. While lighting can affect appearance, major shifts in color over time may also indicate stress, changes in water chemistry, or nutrient levels.

How to Choose a Healthy Frogspawn Coral

  • Polyp Appearance:

    Look for full, inflated polyps with flowing tentacles. Tentacles should be extended and show good color — retracted or shrunken and deflated polyps may indicate stress.

  • Tissue Health:

    Avoid corals with signs of brown jelly disease, torn tissue, or exposed skeleton. The base should appear healthy and firmly attached to its frag plug or skeleton.

  • Branching vs. Wall:

    Branching frogspawn grow more heads and are easier to frag, while wall types tend to grow as a single large mass. Choose based on your preference and tank layout.

  • Pricing:

    Frogspawn pricing varies based on color, size, and rarity. Common green varieties are usually more affordable, while premium color morphs can be significantly more expensive. Branching types are more widely available and often cost less, as they’re easier to frag and typically priced by the number of heads.
