Frog spawn is please

Just picked up this frag from the LFS, the colony was branched. What is the exact name of this coral please

Frogspawn.. beyond that, it needs to be open to tell for sure. Most frogspawn don't have a fancy whizbang name like many of the SPS corals out there

Is it open now ? I don’t know how to tell when they are open or closed. This is my first time having these

and do you have any advice to have them thrive

 

[ndrwater]

Open-ING yes.. not all the way yet though.
Moderate lighting, and moderate indirect flow keeps Euphillia, like your frogspawn happy.

Another word of advice..
Looks like your tank is pretty young. Corals like a very stable environment. I would let things ride for a bit before adding more corals. Make sure everything is a stable as possible for 3-4 months before spending a bunch of money on corals that might not do well in the fluctuating environment of a new tank.
Keep the questions coming, we are here to help.

Let you parameters swing all over the place. Forget to plug in your heater. Put you hands in the tank every 12 hours. Constantly move the corals and rocks around. Over feed and let algae over run your tank. Electrocute the tank. That's been my success recipe for my frogspawn.

just kidding. These are pretty hardy corals, take good care of them and they will reward you. They can do well in a variety of light and flow, moderate is recommended. If the light or flow is too much, they will stay compact. Low and they will extend reaching more and become more translucent.

Alright I won’t add anymore until it’s stable
