Yellow Tips Frogspawn

About this coral

Yellow Tips Frogspawn is an LPS coral sold in the “frogspawn” category (Euphyllia-type LPS) for reef aquariums. In practical terms, it’s a centerpiece coral valued for its waving, bubble-tipped tentacles and for adding rhythmic movement to the lower-to-mid areas of a saltwater tank. As an LPS, it benefits from stable water chemistry and gentle, indirect circulation so the fleshy tentacles can extend without being damaged.

Features:

• Frogspawn-style branching heads with waving tentacles that create visible motion in the tank ([coralkin.com](https://coralkin.com/species/frogspawn-coral/))
• Generally suited to beginner–intermediate LPS keeping when lighting and flow are matched correctly ([coralkin.com](https://coralkin.com/species/frogspawn-coral/))
• Prefers low-to-moderate, indirect flow (enough to sway tentacles, not “blast” them) ([marinecolorado.org](https://www.marinecolorado.org/threads/coral-spotlight-frogspawn-euphyllia.26623/?utm_source=openai))
• Best placed lower-to-mid on the rockwork/sand, where it can open fully without being crowded ([coralkin.com](https://coralkin.com/species/frogspawn-coral/))
• Like other Euphyllia-type corals, it can have sweeper/interaction issues—space it from non-Euphyllia corals ([coralkin.com](https://coralkin.com/species/frogspawn-coral/))
• Feeds mainly through photosynthesis but can appreciate occasional meaty foods (benefits from occasional target feeding) ([coralkin.com](https://coralkin.com/species/frogspawn-coral/))
