Purple Tip Branching Frogspawn Coral

Fimbriaphyllia paradivisa — formerly Euphyllia paradivisa

The Purple Tip Branching Frogspawn Coral (Fimbriaphyllia paradivisa) is a vibrant branching LPS coral characterized by fleshy, flowing tentacles finished with distinct purple tips. Subtle green tones can develop through the tentacles and oral discs, creating strong contrast and depth, especially under blue-heavy reef lighting where fluorescence is most pronounced.

This species is the branching form of frogspawn coral. Unlike the wall form (Fimbriaphyllia divisa), paradivisa grows as individual branches, making it significantly more farmable and better suited to long-term aquaculture. Branching structure also allows for easier propagation and greater resilience in captive systems.

With moderate lighting, gentle indirect flow, and stable water chemistry, this coral exhibits excellent polyp extension and steady growth. Its constant motion and layered coloration make it an ideal centerpiece or accent coral in mixed reef aquariums.

Care Guidelines

• Lighting: Moderate
• Flow: Low to moderate, indirect
• Placement: Mid to lower areas of the aquarium
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive; allow space from neighboring corals
• Feeding: Optional but beneficial; accepts fine meaty foods and coral nutrition

Each specimen is aquacultured and selected for healthy tissue, strong branching structure, and consistent coloration.

A dependable choice for reef keepers seeking flowing movement, bold purple accents, and a sustainably farmed branching frogspawn coral.
