Description
Euphyllia Frogspawn Corals have been a fixture in reef aquariums seemingly since the hobby began. Frogspawn corals have long multi tipped tentacles resembling a mass of frog eggs. This large polyp stony coral (LPS) is one of the most popular stony corals in the hobby because if the way it sways in the current. It is very similar in growth and care requirements to it Euphyllia cousins, the Hammer coral and the Torch coral.
Additional information:
Care: Beginner, Intermediate - Flow: Low, medium - Lighting: Low, Moderate
Water Parameters:
Calcium: 440 ppm is the ideal level, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Calcium is essential for coral growth and skeletal development.
Alkalinity: 9 dKH (degrees of carbonate hardness) is the target, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Alkalinity helps maintain stable pH levels and is crucial for coral health.
Magnesium: 1350 ppm is the recommended level, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Magnesium plays a role in calcium and alkalinity balance.
pH: Aim for a pH as close to 8.3 as possible, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Maintaining a stable pH is vital for coral growth and overall tank health.
Temperature: Reef tanks typically thrive in temperatures between 75- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit.
Salinity: A specific gravity of 1.025 or 35 PPT is generally recommended.
Specific Gravity: Should be kept between 1.023 and 1.025.
Nitrate (NO3): Levels should be kept low, ideally around 5 ppm or less.
Phosphate (PO4): Should be kept as low as possible, generally below 0.03 ppm, according to Recif'Art.
