Ultra Blue Tip Frogspawn
Ultra Blue Tip Frogspawn (Fimbriaphyllia divisa)
The Ultra Blue Tip Frogspawn is a striking LPS coral prized for its vibrant blue-tipped tentacles, full fleshy polyps, and beautiful flowing movement. The cool blue coloration creates excellent contrast under reef lighting and offers a unique alternative to the more commonly seen green Frogspawn varieties.
When fully extended, its distinctive multi-tipped tentacles sway naturally with the current, adding both color and movement to the aquarium. Its standout coloration makes the Ultra Blue Tip Frogspawn an excellent centerpiece or addition to a growing LPS collection.
Recommended Care
Scientific Name: Fimbriaphyllia divisa
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Lighting: Low to Moderate — approximately 75–150 PAR
Water Flow: Low to Moderate, indirect/alternating flow
Placement: Lower to middle areas of the aquarium
Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic; occasional supplemental feeding can support growth
Placement & Flow
Provide gentle to moderate, indirect flow that allows the polyps to sway naturally without being whipped around or pushed against the skeleton. Allow several inches of space between the Frogspawn and neighboring corals to accommodate full expansion and potential sweeper tentacles.
Lighting
Ultra Blue Tip Frogspawn generally performs best under low to moderate reef lighting. Gradual light acclimation is recommended when introducing the coral to a new aquarium, especially when moving it into areas with stronger PAR.
Feeding
Frogspawn receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis and does not require frequent direct feeding. Occasional offerings of small LPS pellets, mysis, or appropriately sized meaty foods can help support healthy growth.
With its brilliant blue tips, flowing polyps, and distinctive coloration, the Ultra Blue Tip Frogspawn is an eye-catching addition to any LPS or mixed reef aquarium.
