Is this a frogspawn?
Can someone tell me exactly what this is.
I believe it is some type of frogspawn. If it is, will the tentacles get longer like other frogspawns or do they stay this short? |

Yes, I think this is a frogspawn. By long tentacles, do you mean as in a hammer coral?

Yes, it is a frogspawn. I think with long tentacles you are thinking of a torch coral.

No, not as long as a torch, just a little longer like a frogspawn.
Here's a pic of my other frogspawn. What's the difference between to two? |

I see what you mean. It could be possible that the new coral is still acclimating.

All frog spawns are dif. (That's what I like about them.) How long have you had it?

Yes, definitely a Frogspawn, and an unusual color at that!! I have the same "baby blue" colored Frogspawn, smaller than yours. I've only seen one other.

There are 5 Euphyllia sp., and 3 of them are lumped together as "Frogspawn" corals (E. divisa/paradivisa, E. cristata, and E. yaeyamaensis). The other 2 are the common torch (E. glabrescens) and hammer (E. ancora/paraancora).
