Frogspawn Coral – Green – Medium
The Green Frogspawn Coral is a classic flowing LPS coral known for its long, fleshy tentacles and distinctive multi-tipped ends.
Its vibrant green colouration and constant movement make it a standout feature in mixed reef and LPS-focused aquariums. Under gentle water flow, the polyps sway naturally throughout the day, adding colour, texture and movement to the aquascape.

Aquarium Placement
Green Frogspawn performs best under moderate lighting with gentle, indirect water movement.
The flow should be strong enough to keep the tentacles softly swaying without pushing the coral aggressively in one direction.
Lower-to-middle placement generally works well, depending on the strength of your reef lighting.
Vibrant Green Colour
The rich green colouration gives this Frogspawn excellent visibility in the reef, especially under blue marine lighting where the fluorescent tones can become even more pronounced.
Its soft, flowing shape also creates a great contrast against more rigid SPS colonies and rockwork.
Feeding
Frogspawn receives most of its energy through photosynthesis but can benefit from occasional supplemental feeding.
Suitable foods include:
- Mysis shrimp
- LPS coral pellets
- Finely chopped marine foods
- Dedicated coral preparations
Target feeding once or twice per week can help support healthy tissue and continued growth.
Give It Plenty of Space
Frogspawn Coral can extend sweeper tentacles capable of stinging neighbouring corals, particularly after lights out.
Leave several inches of space around the colony and allow additional room for growth as it becomes established.
Stable Reef Parameters
For best results, maintain stable:
- Calcium
- Alkalinity
- Magnesium
- Salinity
- Temperature
- Nitrate and phosphate
Like most fleshy LPS corals, Frogspawn performs best when water chemistry remains consistent rather than fluctuating.
With its vibrant green colour, long flowing tentacles and excellent movement, the Medium Green Frogspawn Coral is a fantastic feature addition to an established reef aquarium.
Colour intensity, tentacle shape, head count and exact size may vary between individual specimens.
