Australian Toxic Green Frogspawn (Single)
Bring an electric shot of color and graceful motion to your reef tank with the Australian Toxic Green Frogspawn, a striking Euphyllia divisa specimen prized for its vivid neon-green tentacles and dramatic presence.
Appearance & Coloration
This single head of frogspawn features long, bubble-like polyps that wave gently in the current, creating a soft, living sculpture. Its “toxic green” coloration is intensely bright, with tentacle tips that glow luminously under actinic or blue LED lighting—making it a standout even in well-populated reef displays.
Origin & Rarity
Sourced from Australian waters, this frogspawn coral reflects the high-quality, wild or sustainably harvested pieces that Corals Depot is known for. Its origin contributes to its robust health and vibrant coloration, making it a prized addition for both new and seasoned reef keepers.
Care & Placement
-
Lighting: Prefers moderate lighting — too intense, and the polyps may retract; too dim, and it may lose its vivid color.
-
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate, gentle water movement to allow full polyp extension without damaging the delicate tissue. This aligns with commonly recommended flow levels for frogspawn corals.
-
Water Chemistry: Maintain stable and clean water. Important parameters include calcium (~400–450 ppm), alkalinity (8–12 dKH), and a balanced temperature and salinity.
-
Feeding: Although this coral receives much of its nutrition via photosynthesis, it benefits from supplemental feedings 1–2 times per week. Soft meaty foods like brine shrimp, mysis, or micro-plankton work well.
Behavior & Compatibility
-
Aggression: As with most Euphyllia species, this frogspawn has sweeper tentacles and can sting nearby corals. Provide ample space (several inches) from neighbors to prevent damage.
-
Growth: Over time, it may branch out or form additional heads, depending on conditions and fragging.
Why Choose This Coral
-
Striking Visual Impact: The fluorescent green coloration brings a dramatic neon accent to any reef.
-
Dynamic Movement: Soft, flowing tentacles give this coral a lively, organic feel.
-
Rewarding to Keep: With moderate husbandry requirements, it's a relatively approachable LPS coral that offers great payoff — stunning looks + satisfying growth.
