Frogspawn help, please.

[woodsonfan]

I've had my tank up for a couple of months. It's a 20H. I've got a CUC, two clowns, 25lbs. of live rock...My water testing is ammonia 0, nitrite 0, and nitrate 5. Salinity 1.025 (refractometer), temperature is at 79*.

I have two corals - two heads of frogspawn, and a zoa frag. I've had these for around 3 days. Everything was great, and when I woke up this morning, the frogspawn had stringy, mucousy stuff coming off of it. I don't believe the stringy stuff to be sweeper tentacles. As time has passed this morning, the right head seems to be starting to open up, as I've turned on my lights, and the left head is showing some signs of opening up.

I have the reef master kit coming my way, and it will be here on Monday. I don't know what my calcium, phosphates are right now.

Can anyone help me out. Hopefully this is nothing, and maybe normal. Do I need to remove the "stuff" coming off of the frogspawn, or will it hopefully retract it. I'm more worried about my clownfish than anything. However, I want to do whatever needed to keep the frogspawn alive, too.

Mr Clownfish might be the reason that your frogspawn is angry. They are known to be very rough on corals when in search of a host.

Obviously, I don't know what happens in my tank at night - however, the clownfish haven't taken much interest in it, when I'm watching the tank. I hope the frogspawn makes it through.
