Great frogspawn. Hopefully I'll be getting mine this week.

I love frogspawns! I just picked up a single headed one with green tips. Here is a pic of my 3 headed pink tipped one:

My first coral, when I got it it was as small as the bottom one, it grew(4yrs) and then I broke it into the two pieces.

You know you could sell that for a fortune, right?

 

[chinaman4u]

Thank you drummer. But Its a common, not so rare, froggy. I've had that baby since the beginning, I wouldn't sell it for the world! Got a little to big for my 75 though, now it's in my 120. The shrimp, which is very big, makes my froggy looks small though, it's huge if u see it in person. I once saw a pic here on RC that fills a whole tank!

I brought it back to the store. It was huge and I needed the room. It had been fragged many times but still I counted about 74 heads when I brought it to the LFS. Only had 5 when I bought it.

Hope this inspires some of you, keep that water dirty, they grow faster! LOL

Heres mine. I have it in a 26 Bow Front with a 175W 10K MH and its doing great. I am starting to see some more heads form too, so far about 5 frogspawns are by far my favorite corals.

Reef artist- I have had babies, too!

I took baby shots of frogspawn buds(approx Jan 05), cut them off a mounted them.
Now, almost two years later...

Euphoric - Frogspawn favors less than ideal conditions, lower/med flow and lots of suspended food. I only put cyclopeeze in my tanks, once evry two weeks. However they will visibly grow if you target feed blended shrimp about once a month(anymore, and I think the food would be polluting your tank) I target feed using a syringe and airline about 2-5ml, so it isn't a lot at all.

Frogspawn is my favorite coral, as well.

chinaman4u, thanks for the feeding information. When you fragged yours how old were the heads? I have some smaller heads on a Torch (19 heads in all) and some of the lower ones seem discolored - larger ones getting all the light. Do you think I should just cut them now?

chinaman4u -- thanks for the info. what do you mean by blended shrimp? the shrimp you buy at the store and put them in a blender? til how much crushed do they have to be? how much of that do a feed? can i freeze the rest?

thanks
