Gold Frogspawn Coral Frag
The Gold Frogspawn is a classic Euphyllia coral admired for its warm golden tones and flowing, multi-tipped tentacles. With a rich gold to yellow-green colouration and constant, gentle movement, this coral brings a natural focal point and soft motion to reef aquariums.
Balancing visual impact with manageable care requirements, Gold Frogspawn is an excellent choice for mixed reefs and LPS-focused systems alike.
Natural Habitat & Distribution
Frogspawn corals (Euphyllia divisa / Euphyllia paradivisa) originate from the Indo-Pacific region, including:
-
Indonesia
-
Fiji and Tonga
-
The Great Barrier Reef
-
The Philippines
In the wild, frogspawn corals inhabit sheltered reef slopes and lagoon areas, where light is moderate and water movement is gentle and indirect.
A Brief History
Euphyllia corals have long been staples of the reef hobby due to their hardiness, movement, and distinctive appearance. Gold colour morphs have remained popular for their ability to add warmth and contrast to reef displays without overwhelming other corals.
Gold Frogspawn continues to be a reliable, timeless Euphyllia choice for reef keepers of all experience levels.
Appearance & Growth
Classified as an LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral, Gold Frogspawn features long, fleshy tentacles with rounded or split tips that sway continuously in the current.
-
Warm gold to yellow-green colouration
-
Strong fluorescence under blue lighting
-
Healthy, extended polyps when settled
Growth is steady under stable conditions, with new heads forming over time.
Placement & Lighting
Gold Frogspawn performs best under moderate lighting, replicating its natural reef environment.
-
Lighting: Medium
-
Best placed in the mid to lower areas of the aquarium
-
Excessive light may cause colour fading or stress
Flow Requirements
Provide gentle to moderate, indirect flow. The tentacles should sway naturally without being blasted by direct current.
Water Chemistry
Stable reef parameters are essential. Maintain consistent levels of:
-
Calcium
-
Alkalinity
-
Magnesium
Along with stable salinity and temperature. Regular testing and water changes help ensure long-term health.
Feeding
While primarily photosynthetic, Gold Frogspawn benefits from occasional feeding such as:
-
Small meaty foods (mysis, brine shrimp)
-
LPS-specific coral foods
Target feeding once or twice weekly can encourage growth and colour.
Temperament & Spacing
Gold Frogspawn is semi-aggressive. It can extend sweeper tentacles at night that may sting nearby corals.
-
Allow adequate spacing
-
Avoid placing too close to other Euphyllia or sensitive corals
Frag Size & Natural Variation
-
Frag size: Typically 1–2 heads

Each frag is unique and may vary slightly in colour intensity and tentacle shape depending on lighting and tank conditions.
