Species guidance · AI-assisted · Model audited · Revision 2

The wall frogspawn has a continuous skeleton and divided tentacle tips.
Requirements
- Care level
- Intermediate
- Temperament
- Allow generous clearance from neighboring livestock
Placement and environment
- Lighting
- Begin with low to moderate light and increase exposure gradually.
- Water flow
- Indirect, variable flow should move the polyps without folding them against their skeleton.
- Placement
- Lower to middle rockwork. Open space around the expanded colony. Separate from torches.
Feeding
- Feeding
- Photosynthetic; occasional small foods may be accepted, although the feeding response can be subtle.
Acclimation and long-term care
- Handling
- Place a wall colony securely and protect its continuous fleshy tissue from abrasion.
- Warning signs
- Tissue abrasion and recession. Brown jelly-like tissue breakdown. Branching and wall forms differ in resilience.
