The Frogspawn Coral is a large polyp stony coral Its polyps remain visible throughout the day and night, resembling a mass of fish eggs or frog eggs, hence its common name 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 tentacles can extend up to 15 cm beyond its base into the aquarium surroundings, it will sting other neighboring corals, therefore, leave plenty of room between itself and other corals. It is moderately difficult to maintain, but popular coral that will thrive under the proper conditions. It needs to have moderate to heavy lighting combined with moderate water movement. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements.The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within its body provides the majority of its nutritional requirements from photosynthesis. It will also benefit from additional food such as brine shrimp.

Tank conditions:22-26C, sg 1.023-1.025, ph 8.1-8.4, dkh 8-10
