Brighten Your Reef with the Rosewood Frogspawn Coral

Discover the captivating beauty of the Rosewood Frogspawn, a unique LPS coral that blends the traits of frogspawn and hammer corals, bringing dynamic color and movement to your marine aquarium.

Overview

The Rosewood Frogspawn, scientifically known as *Fimbriaphyllia paradivisa*, is a stunning hybrid coral featuring a mesmerising blend of frogspawn and hammer coral characteristics. Its polyps unfurl with vibrant rosewood hues, displaying a bushy, flowing structure that sways gracefully in the water current. Each head exhibits a mix of rounded, grape-like tips and distinctive hammer or anchor shapes, creating an intricate and eye-catching display that will become a focal point in your reef aquarium. This coral is known for its hardiness and relatively easy care requirements.

Care Level

Considered moderate in difficulty, the Rosewood Frogspawn is suitable for experienced beginners and intermediate aquarists. It is a semi-aggressive LPS coral, capable of extending sweeper tentacles, so provide adequate space (at least 10-12 cm) from other corals to prevent stinging.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 150 litres (approximately 40 gallons) is recommended for this coral. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1–8.4, temperature 24–28°C (75–82°F), and salinity 1.024–1.026. Place your Rosewood Frogspawn in the mid to lower sections of your reef, ensuring moderate, indirect water flow to encourage full polyp extension without causing damage.

Diet

As a photosynthetic coral, the Rosewood Frogspawn primarily relies on its symbiotic zooxanthellae for nutrition. However, it greatly benefits from supplemental feedings of planktonic foods, micro-plankton, or finely chopped meaty foods once or twice a week. Target feeding at night, when polyps are extended, is ideal.
