LiveAquaria® CCGC Aquacultured Green Frogspawn Coral
The LiveAquaria® CCGC Aquacultured Frogspawn Coral (Euphyllia divisa) is a Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral that is a popular choice for the home aquarist who wants to add interest to their reef aquarium. It is also a hardier coral that gets its name for the tentacle tips that are a different color than its body and resemble frog eggs. When it is housed in a lighted aquarium, this pink and green beauty is even more intriguing. Unlike many other corals, the Frogspawn Coral stays in its open state and does not close up, so always displays their vibrantly colored polyps.
With tentacles that sway with the water flow, it is easy to see why Frogspawn corals draw interest. Because of their aggressive behavior, however, be sure to place them away from other corals so their sweeper tentacles do not damage nearby species.

The coral arrived healthy and has been thriving in my 120-gallon reef tank. The color contrast between the body and tentacle tips is striking. I placed it in a corner with plenty of space, and it’s been very active without touching other corals.

It’s a beautiful addition to the tank. The polyps stay open and show off their colors well under LED lighting. I just made sure to keep it away from a nearby soft coral to avoid any contact.

Great quality and fast shipping. The coral looks vibrant and has been stable for over two months. I appreciate that it doesn’t close up like some other LPS corals.
