For the Green on Green Frogspawn Euphyllia, they are predominatly colored light green with dark green tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Green on Green Frogspawn Euphyllia:
- Calcium: 420 – 440 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 – 3.93 MEQ/L (8 – 11 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1260 – 1350
- Strontium: 8 -10
- Temperature: 75° – 80° F (24° – 27° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 – 1.025
- pH: 8.1 – 8.4
