need info. on two soft corals

[deerleaf]

the other day in a lfs, i noticed two
soft corals that intrigued me very much and also ones that i never heard of before and i need some opinions, advice & care intructions
before i may decide to purchase either. one
is called a frogspawn-eyphillia divisa ? &
the other was called green crystal with no
latin name available. also, does anyone know
where either can be purchased besides a lfs?
thanx, deerleaf

I have frogspawn and it seems to be pretty hardy. I bought mine at a LFS and paid about $55 which I thought to be slightly high but they have been fairly helpful.

Frog spawn is a hard coral...the hard base....It is a aggressive coral..(it will sting others) It light demands are 3-8 on a scale of 1-10....medium water flow and very hardy..... I have two of its cousins a torch and a wiskers..I had to give up my plate coral which outgrew my tank.
Your Crystal coral is called Galaxea...
It needs to be away from all other corals...at night it will extend long...6-12 inch tentecls out to catch prey and it will sting others..its very beautiful.. also called starbust coral
light needs--- 4-9 on scale of 1-10
water flow 4-9 on scale of 1-10
very aggressive a 7
very hardy a 7
I don't have the information on feeding
sorry but I hope this helps.... My torch and wiskers are surviving and thriving on supplements.
Hope this helps
