frogspawn

[commodore]

Is this coral too aggressive to keep in a 20 gal high tank? I understand it has sweeper tentacles that can sting other corals

 

[mr pink floyd]

i think it is, unless its very small

I have three different euphyllia with multiple heads in a ten gallon tank with no apparent aggression.

However it's important to correctly identify the coral. Corals commonly sold as frogspawn and hammer corals are typically not aggressive. Torch corals which are similar in appearance are known to send out long and dangerous sweepers.

I have three large heads of frog spawn in my 10gal. and I have no trouble at all.

and if you do notice sweepers, just put the coral downstream from the others. I kept a galaxea in a ten gall for years without any problems doing this very thing.

no issues in my 20g long

I have a small frag in a 20H. It has two main heads with more coming in. It was about the size of a softball before I fragged it. It was way too big then but never did any real damage after it became smaller.

i think its safe to say that it's OK to keep frogspawn in a 20gal

i have frogspawn in my 12g cube and its never bothered anything else and it is growing very well.

i've got a FS in my 10g...7 heads, no problems. just give it plenty of room to grow, and keep it in gentle flow. too high of flow will prevent full PE, and can cause sweeper tenticles to be sent out.
