📜 Backstory
Sold by Unique Corals as the 'Euphyllia paradivisa Golden Octospawn' WYSIWYG stock frag, with comparable gold-tip octospawn at Queen City Corals and Saltwaterfish. Octospawn is a related Euphyllia growth form grouped with hammers in the trade; these golds are wild-collected color morphs, not a single named lineage.
Keeper tips for this variant
Octospawn likes slightly lower flow than hammers; place low-to-mid with moderate light and gentle current so the puffy tips inflate. Still allow space from neighbors.
