frogspawn not opening...

[solo607]

a few days ago i got a small frogspawn from a fellow reefer and it was looking good for the first night...when i woke up the next morning it had fallen and over turned onto the sand.....so i moved it to a more stable location on some eggcrate that i made into a frag shelf but it doesnt seem to want to puff up like it was the first night i had it...anybody have any suggestions???


should i just wait it out and give it more time???

thanks in advance...solo

well... its one day after extreme stress (being turned into the sand for a night). give it time and be a little patient with the coral.

wait it out. i've had frog spawns, hammers, and anchors. every now and then a head or two will not open as usual. never dies, just doesn't open. eventually, it will open again.

thats really what i was hoping you would say! thanks for making me feel better...

Give it some time and keep your fingers crossed. It should be good after a while.

Just make sure you don't observe any brown jelly, or tissue necrosis of any sort, and you're good

It should be OK with time...

so its been a few days and the frogspawn still doesnt seem happy...its open but just doesnt seem to be to happy....

is there anything special that they like??

Possibly more flow, you running carbon?

My frog is sick and I have lost 3 pods on it. (brown jelly and the head popped off) The rest of the colony is very stressed and the water quality is ok. Any idea as to what might be happening? I think a torch got very close to it once. I moved it but random pods keep getting sick and dying...Why? See from on rock...the two back pods have since melted...they also killed my kenya I think when the brown sludge touched them ( I think)...what should I do?

 

[solo607]

no i am not running carbon....i just dont get it...everything else in the tank is okay but the frogspawn just doesnt want to open anymore.....

what kind of area of flow should i put it at...right now it has very little flow....

 

[guinness0514]

I was told frogs like medium flow. are the pods dying or are they just retracted?
