Euphyllia divisa, commonly known as the Frogspawn coral, is a popular Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral admired for its unique branching tentacles and vibrant green hues. This premium medium to large specimen offers a striking addition to any marine reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Euphyllia divisa thrives under moderate lighting conditions, such as T5 fluorescents, LED, or metal halide systems. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the coral’s tentacles gently swaying without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in a location where it has ample space to expand its tentacles without touching neighbouring corals, as it can exhibit aggressive sweeper tentacles. Mid to lower reef levels are preferred.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in maintaining stable water parameters and reef conditions.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent aggression towards nearby corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Colonies can reach up to 30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 90 litres (approximately 24 gallons) and above to provide sufficient space and stable water quality.
Regular monitoring of water parameters including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential to support healthy skeletal growth. Maintain stable temperature (24-27°C), salinity (1.023-1.025), and low nutrient levels for best results.
