AT A GLANCE
Quick facts: Care level: Easy–Moderate · Lighting: Moderate · Flow: Low–Moderate · Feeding: Benefits from feeding


WHY SHOULD I BUY THIS CORAL?
The Yellow Jacket Frogspawn is a standout Frogspawn variety prized for its vivid yellow to gold tentacle tips contrasted against green or teal bases, creating a bold “high-vis” appearance reminiscent of its namesake. With thick, fleshy tentacles and constant, flowing movement, this coral delivers both colour impact and dynamic motion. Its strong fluorescence under blue lighting makes it an eye-catching feature in LPS and mixed reef aquariums.


CARE LEVEL
Easy–Moderate
Suitable for established reef systems with stable and well-maintained water parameters.


WATER REQUIREMENTS & GENERAL CARE

• Temperature: 24–27 °C
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026 (32–35 ppt)
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Stable chemistry is essential for strong polyp inflation, colour retention, and healthy skeletal growth.


LIGHTING
• Moderate
• PAR Range: 80–150 PAR

Moderate lighting brings out the best yellow coloration and fluorescence. Gradual acclimation is recommended when moving into brighter systems.


PLACEMENT
• Bottom / Lower rockwork

Place on secure rockwork or the sandbed with the skeleton fully supported. Allow adequate space for expansion and nighttime sweeper tentacles.


FLOW
• Low–Moderate

Provide gentle, indirect flow that allows the tentacles to sway naturally without being forcefully pushed or collapsed.


FEEDING
• Photosynthetic: Benefit from feeding
Recommended feeding schedule:
• 1–2 times per week
Accepted foods:
• Finely chopped mysis or brine shrimp
• LPS pellets
• Reef roids or fine powdered coral foods
• Liquid coral foods or amino acids

Regular feeding supports faster growth, thicker tissue, and enhanced colour vibrancy.
