Classic Frogspawn Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia frogspawn coral with branching, flowing tentacles. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral brings the recognizable frogspawn form to a reef display. Its tentacles create natural movement, while its moderate care needs suit reef keepers prepared to provide stable conditions and thoughtful placement.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Watch the coral’s response after placement, especially when changing fixtures or moving it within the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the tentacles moving without blasting the coral. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable extension and irritate fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas, with room for its tentacles to extend. Introduce it gradually and adjust placement only after observing how it responds to light and flow.

Temperament

Allow generous space from nearby corals because frogspawn is semi-aggressive and can sting neighbors. Keep its reach in mind as tentacles move with changing water flow.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding gently can help avoid excessive disturbance and keep food from drifting onto neighboring corals.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt changes in lighting, flow, salinity, or alkalinity. Observe tentacle extension and tissue condition regularly, then make gradual adjustments if its placement or surrounding conditions appear unsuitable.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighboring corals.
