How big is 1 head of Frogspawn?

[jrsydevi1]

I've never had a Frogspawn before.. and all of my local frag-sellers seem to be selling them 'by the head'... but no one seems to have a pic of what one or two heads looks like..

Can anyone post a pic of something that will give me an idea?

From my experience I'd say on average a head is like the diameter of a quarter. it definitely depends tho. Some frogspawns are just one big head while others branch out into many heads. And by a quarter i mean the size of the skeleton, not the expanded flesh.

by the way a frogspawn is a LPS not a soft coral. You should move this thread.

A head is basically the individual polyps of the coral. It is pretty easy to see with the branching varieties when they are retracted. The individual corals in the colony stand out a lot. Often it is just a matter of counting the branches.

it depends on how big it has grown.

i think all sizes are different

Just took this picture now while the lights are off and the frogspawn has retracted. It should give you a good idea of what each head looks like:

Each of mine are about a half dollar size.
