Green Branching Frogspawn Coral
Green Branching Frogspawn Coral is a classic LPS coral that brings bright colour, flowing movement, and strong structure to a reef aquarium. Loved for its thick branching skeleton and fleshy tentacles, Frogspawn Coral creates a soft swaying motion that adds life and energy to any marine display.
This green variety is especially popular for its vibrant colour and distinctive frogspawn-like tentacle tips. When fully extended, the polyps create a full, textured appearance that makes this coral stand out beautifully among rockwork and other LPS corals. It works well as a feature coral or as part of a Euphyllia garden alongside Hammer and Torch Corals.
Green Branching Frogspawn Coral is best kept in a stable reef aquarium with moderate lighting and gentle to moderate indirect flow. The polyps should move naturally in the current without being blasted directly, as strong flow can cause retraction or tissue damage.
Lighting should sit around 75–150 PAR. Too much light can cause stress, while too little can reduce colour and polyp extension. Placement is usually best in the middle section of the aquarium on a stable rock structure, allowing enough space for the coral to expand.
Like other Euphyllia corals, Frogspawn is semi-aggressive and can sting nearby corals, so it should be given room away from neighbouring coral colonies. It is photosynthetic, but occasional target feeding with suitable coral foods can support growth and overall health.
