Care guide
Frogspawn coral
Group guidance · AI-assisted · Model audited · Revision 2
Give frogspawn moderate light and indirect flow that moves the tentacles gently. Leave room for expansion and keep torches out of reach. Handle wall colonies with extra care.
Requirements
- Care level
- Intermediate
- Temperament
- Allow generous clearance from neighboring livestock
Placement and environment
- Lighting
- Begin with low to moderate light and acclimate gradually rather than assuming brighter is better.
- 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
- Warning signs
- Tissue abrasion and recession. Brown jelly-like tissue breakdown. Branching and wall forms differ in resilience.
