Aussie Wall Frogspawn Colony

About this coral

Aussie Wall Frogspawn Colony is a display LPS coral in the Euphyllia (frogspawn) group, chosen for its dramatic, branching “frogspawn” polyp look. In a home aquarium, it’s primarily used as a centerpiece coral: the polyps expand to add texture and movement to the rockwork, while the coral also relies on aquarium light to support its energy needs. Euphyllia corals are commonly kept with moderate light and medium water flow, making them a practical choice for many reef setups.

Features:

• LPS “frogspawn” style polyp display that creates a bold, textured centerpiece
• Generally suited to moderate lighting rather than very high PAR conditions
• Prefers medium, turbulent flow—enough movement to help keep the polyps clean, without blasting
• Thrives when placed where it has stable attachment and can expand without constant physical contact from other corals
• Euphyllia are photosynthetic, but many aquarists also supplement with appropriate small meaty foods for added nutrition

Specifications:

• Scientific group (verified): Euphyllia (frogspawn-type coral)
• Care level (general guidance): Moderate
• Light (general guidance): Moderate
• Water flow (general guidance): Medium
• Temperament: Non-aggressive; space is important because polyps can sting nearby corals
• Placement (general guidance): On rock where it can expand freely and avoid constant contact with other corals
• Diet (general guidance): Photosynthesis plus supplemental feeding of appropriately sized meaty foods
• Temperature (general reef guidance): About 22–26 °C
