Overview
The "Green Troop Frogspawn Euphyllia" is a spectacular and vibrant specimen, showcasing striking green color with fluorescent tips that glow under the right lighting. Known for its bushy, branching structure, this Frogspawn coral adds both elegance and movement to any reef aquarium. It is a truly captivating piece that will become a focal point in your tank, especially as its tentacles sway with the water flow.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Green Troop Frogspawn thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions and prefers moderate water flow, which helps accentuate the movement and color of its tentacles. As an aggressive coral, it is important to give it adequate space from other species to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
This coral is primarily photosynthetic, benefiting from its symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, but occasional feedings of meaty foods like mysis shrimp or zooplankton can help promote faster growth and enhance its vivid color.
Maintaining stable water parameters is essential for the health of the Green Troop Frogspawn. Proper calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels will support its skeletal growth, while keeping nitrate and phosphate levels low will prevent algae growth and ensure that the coral’s colors remain vibrant and bold.
The Green Troop Frogspawn Euphyllia comes unmounted and is ready to be placed in your tank. Approximate size: 5 to 7 cm in diameter.
