Euphyllia divisa (Green), commonly known as Frogspawn coral, is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and distinctive branching structure. This premium medium-sized specimen is perfect for marine aquarists looking to add dynamic movement and colour to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Euphyllia divisa thrives under moderate lighting conditions. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 100-150 are ideal to maintain its vibrant colour and health.
Water Flow: Prefers gentle to moderate water flow. Too strong a current can cause the delicate polyps to retract, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Place this coral in mid to lower regions of the aquarium where it has ample space to expand its tentacles without touching neighbouring corals. Adequate spacing is essential to prevent aggressive interactions, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing. Euphyllia divisa is generally reef safe but can be aggressive towards nearby corals due to its sweeper tentacles. Careful placement is recommended.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and sufficient space.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Medium specimens typically reach up to 20 cm in diameter, with tentacles extending further during polyp expansion.
With proper care, this premium Euphyllia divisa will add captivating movement and a splash of vibrant green to your reef aquarium.
