A Green Octospawn Frogspawn is a popular and visually striking variety of *Euphyllia divisa*, known for its vibrant green coloration and rounded, clustered polyps. Here’s what makes this coral stand out:
– **Appearance**: The Green Octospawn Frogspawn has bulbous polyps that form dense clusters, resembling a group of small, inflated bubbles or grapes. The term “octospawn” comes from each head typically having eight extended tentacles.
– **Coloration**: This variety is characterized by its bright green polyps, which often have tips that are either a lighter shade of green, yellow, or white. Under blue-spectrum reef lighting, the green coloration becomes more vivid and fluorescent, giving the coral a radiant glow.
– **Lighting Requirements**: This coral thrives under moderate to high lighting, with a preference for lighting that enhances its fluorescent green color. It’s particularly striking under blue LEDs.
– **Flow Requirements**: Like other frogspawn corals, the Green Octospawn prefers moderate water flow. A gentle sway in the current allows the tentacles to move fluidly without causing stress to the coral.
– **Growth and Structure**: This coral tends to form a branching structure, with heads that can split and grow into a dense cluster over time. It can be both visually appealing and dynamic as it sways in the water.
– **Aggression and Care**: The Green Octospawn is semi-aggressive and has sweeper tentacles that can sting neighboring corals, so it should be given adequate space in the reef tank.
The Green Octospawn Frogspawn is a fantastic addition to any reef aquarium, offering a bright, lively splash of green color with a flowing, dynamic movement that draws attention.
