All frags are propagated from this pictured coral. There are several different color variations and hobbyists tend to pick out a few different ones and place them near each other, creating what we like to call "gardens".

Long Description: Frogspawn corals are similar to Torches and Hammers, preferring low to moderate lighting and flow, and are distinguished by their long multi-tipped tentacles that resemble frog eggs. This particular species of Euphyllia grows branches with polyps that split in half to form new polyps.
They should be placed somewhere in the middle of the tank, and, away from other types of corals due their tentacles having the ability to sting other corals. One thing we have noticed though, is that Frogspawns can coexist next to hammers and octospawn corals.
There are several different color variations and hobbyists tend to pick out a few different ones and place them near each other, creating what we like to call "gardens".
Relying on the products of their zooxanthellae, they should also be fed phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as other products like Coral Feast and Reef Energy or other amino acids. Of course, you should always maintain proper water parameters by maintaining good calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels.
Although Frogspawn corals are mainly photosynthetic, relying on the products of their zooxanthellae, they should also be fed phyto/zooplankton as well as other products like Benepets, Reef-Roids, and LPS pellets.
