Euphyllia divisa, commonly known as the Frogspawn coral, is a popular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its unique branching tentacles and vibrant appearance. This small specimen is perfect for hobbyists seeking to add dynamic movement and texture to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate – Euphyllia divisa requires stable water parameters and moderate lighting to thrive. It is suitable for intermediate aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with adjustable intensity. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to gently sway the tentacles without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank, ensuring ample space around it to prevent aggressive sweeper tentacles from damaging neighbouring corals.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Euphyllia divisa is generally reef safe with adequate spacing. It can exhibit territorial behaviour, so maintain at least 10cm distance from other corals to avoid stinging.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water conditions and sufficient space.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Euphyllia divisa colonies can reach up to 30cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
