Neon Green Tip Grape Coral
With its tightly-clustered appearance and magnificent coloration, the Neon Green Tip Grape Coral makes a perfect addition to your reef aquarium. Similar to Frogspawn coral (Euphyllia paradivisa), Euphyllia cristata features distinctively tighter polyp groupings which remain visible throughout both the day and night, resembling a bunch of green grapes.
During the evenings, its sweeper tentacles can extend up to six inches beyond its base into the reef aquarium surroundings. It can sting other neighboring corals in the reef aquarium; therefore, it is best to leave plenty of room between itself and other types of corals.
The Neon Green Tip Grape Coral requires moderate to high lighting conditions achieved by T-5s, powerful LEDs, or the more intense metal halides.

The coral looks stunning in my tank. The green tips stand out well under LED lighting. I made sure to keep it away from other corals, and it hasn’t caused any issues. It’s active at night with its tentacles extending, which is a nice visual feature.

Beautiful coloration and compact growth. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving. Just needed a bit of space from a nearby soft coral to avoid any contact.

Great addition to my reef setup. The way it clusters looks like grapes, and it’s very colorful. I use T-5 lighting and it responds well. No stinging incidents so far, probably because I kept it well spaced.
