Brass Morph Octospawn: A Dazzling Addition to Your Reef

Discover the captivating Brass Morph Octospawn coral, a stunning variant of *Fimbriaphyllia yaeyamaensis*, known for its unique tentacle structure and vibrant coloration. This coral is a popular choice for both new and experienced reef keepers.

Overview

The Brass Morph Octospawn, scientifically known as *Fimbriaphyllia yaeyamaensis*, is a captivating large-polyp stony (LPS) coral. It is distinguished by its bubbly, rounded tentacle tips that resemble frog eggs, often with vibrant, metallic green hues. This species branches and forms colonies, with each polyp extending delicate tentacles. These corals sway gracefully in the water, adding dynamic movement to your aquarium. They are known for their relatively hardy nature, making them a favorite among reef enthusiasts.

Care Level

This coral is considered to have an average care level. While relatively hardy once established, it requires stable water parameters and can be sensitive to rapid changes. It is also known to possess sweeper tentacles, so it needs adequate space from other corals to prevent stinging. Proper placement and attention to water quality are key to its success.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 200 litres (approximately 44 gallons) is recommended for the Brass Morph Octospawn. It thrives in stable water conditions with a pH range of 8.1–8.4, salinity of 1.025 SG, and a temperature between 24–28°C (77–82°F). Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal, as strong currents can damage its delicate polyps.

Diet

As corals with symbiotic zooxanthellae, Brass Morph Octospawns gain much of their nutrition from light. However, they will benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with small, meaty foods such as brine shrimp or krill, though they are not aggressive feeders.
