The Frogspawn Coral is a large polyp stony coral (LPS) often referred to as the Wall, Octopus, Grape, or Honey Coral. Its polyps remain visible throughout both the day and night, resembling a mass of fish eggs or frog eggs, hence one of its common names Frogspawn. Its coloration is green or brown to tan in color. With its appearance and coloration it would make a nice addition to any reef aquarium.
During the evenings, its sweeper tentacles can extend up to six inches beyond its base into the reef aquarium surroundings. It will sting other neighboring corals in the reef aquarium, therefore, it is best to leave plenty of room between itself and other types of corals. It is moderately difficult to maintain, but it is a popular coral that will thrive under the proper conditions. It will need to have moderate to heavy lighting combined with moderate water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within its body provides the majority of its nutritional requirements from photosynthesis. It will also benefit from additional food in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp.

Euphyllia paradivisa (Frogspawn Coral) Empty The current owner

Post  thierry Tue May 25, 2010 9:51 am

Through one of the forums I'm member of (www.zeewaterforum.info) I came across this coral. Member Martin g sells them together with some other corals, even though it wasn't this one that caught my attention, but might be a nice option.
It's a fragment of his coral and costs 4 euro.

The picture is of his main coral, but to give an impression.

Euphyllia paradivisa (Frogspawn Coral) Empty Bought the coral

Yesterday we bought a small piece of Frogspawn Coral from martin g. In the picture it looks nice already, unfortunately we found the rock on its side this morning. We have to think about how we are going to make sure that it doesn’t fall so quickly.

The Frogspawn Coral moved to a new location. On its old location it dropped, and it didn’t seem like a good idea to keep it on its side, so we moved it in between two rocks. Now it doesn’t fall and can expend all it wants Smile

The Frogspawn coral is with us 4 months, and is the first LPS we got. It seems to be growing nicely in his new location. He also moved after we caught the Angelfish.

It seems to have 3 heads now, not sure yet but it looks that way. It is doing nicely, but there is danger on its way from 2 sides. On one side Buttons are closing in while on the other side the Star Polyps are moving its way.

The majano anemone next to the frogspawn coral is still there. Tried injecting it with boiling water, but without any luck unfortunately.
