A variant of Frogspawn coral (Euphyllia divisa)
Representative Frogspawn coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
An uncommon octospawn in warm orange-to-amber tones (often on a lime-green base with orange tips), with the compact octospawn tip clusters. The orange coloration is unusual for euphyllia and commands a premium.
📜 Backstory
Traded as 'Orange Octospawn' / 'Octospawn - Orange Tips' by vendors including Ethical Aquatics (Canada), Mail Order Corals (as a 'Branching Lime Based / Orange Tipped Octospawn'), Saltwater Fish, and Your Reef. These are wild-collected Indo-Pacific colored colonies; orange forms are scarcer and priced accordingly (origin debated).
Keeper tips for this variant
Mid-tank under moderate, blue-leaning light with gentle flow; avoid overly bright white light, which can dull the orange pigment.
