Green Branching Frogspawn
Branching Frogspawn (Euphyllia divisa, Yaemyamaensis) is a popular, relatively easy LPS coral requiring moderate lighting and low-to-moderate, indirect water flow to prevent tissue damage.
Maintain stable parameters
Salinity 1.023-1.026
75-80°F
pH 8.1-8.4
Alk 8-12 dKH
Calcium 400-450 ppm
Give them space, as they have long, stinging, defensive tentacles.
Key Care Requirements:
Placement & Flow: Place in the lower-to-middle sections of the tank with low-to-moderate, indirect flow.
High, direct flow can cause them to shrivel or damage their delicate tissue.
Lighting: Moderate light is best, too much light can cause bleaching.
Water Quality: Stable water chemistry is essential.
Feeding:
While photosynthetic, they benefit from target feeding small, meaty foods like mysis shrimp or plankton 1-2 times a week.
Aggression: They have potent sweeper tentacles that can extend several inches, so place them away from other coral species to avoid stinging.
Retraction: Often caused by too much flow, poor water quality, or chemical warfare from neighbors.
