LPS Coral
Frogspawn Coral.
A favorite Euphyllia — flowing tentacles tipped like frogspawn that wave hypnotically in the current. It has stinging sweepers, so give it room from other corals; moderate light and gentle flow keep it happy in a 30-gallon-plus reef.

Good tank mates
Frogspawn is a large-polyp stony coral with long sweeper tentacles that sting neighboring corals, so leave open space around it and keep it well away from other LPS (large-polyp stony), SPS (small-polyp stony), and soft corals. It pairs naturally with clownfish, which often host in its flowing tentacles, and coexists with peaceful reef fish, snails, and most shrimp; avoid placing it touching any other coral colony. Branching Euphyllia (frogspawn, hammer, torch) generally tolerate being near each other, but give every coral room.
Good to know
Clownfish that lack a natural anemone will frequently adopt a frogspawn coral as a surrogate host, nestling into its grape-like tentacles.

Firefish Goby
Small, peaceful dartfish that hovers mid-column hunting plankton and is fully reef-safe; no documented tendency to nip or disturb the extended sweeper tentacles of Euphyllia divisa.
Green Chromis
Confirmed reef-safe schooling fish that ignores coral polyps entirely; any aggression observed is intraspecific (within-school pecking order) and poses no threat to frogspawn tissue.
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Well-established reef-safe invertebrate that establishes cleaning stations without disturbing coral; multiple authoritative sources confirm it does not harm Euphyllia or other LPS corals.
Banggai Cardinalfish
Peaceful, slow-moving fish confirmed reef-safe across multiple care authorities; no history of nipping LPS polyps and its calm disposition means it will not trigger frogspawn's defensive sweeper tentacles.
Royal Gramma
Rated 100% reef-safe with LPS corals by multiple sources; prefers shaded caves over open reef areas and will not damage or consume frogspawn polyps in a mixed reef system.
