My frogspawn is having a baby!

So I finally got a good shot of one of the new heads my frogspawn is making. He was eating so I took the opportunity to take a shot. Soon my frogspawn will have 4 heads here's a pic!

hahaha how long did it take?

That happens to mine but they never seem to grow! Hopefully you will have better luck.

Thanks for the compliments! I got the coral on 4/30/2011, so 3 months before I started seeing the little heads pop up. The large head on top already split into 2 about a month ago. I hope they make it too! so far so good!! :beer:

Yeah, I noticed those when I first got mine and thought for sure they would form into larger heads.
You have re-peaked my curiosity. I just went and looked at mine .They are still tiny but have seemed to branch out further from the main stalk. I wonder if I could cut them and super glue it to a plug to give them more light.

Funny, I just noticed the same thing ony frogspawn a few days ago. I would have never noticed it if I didn't wake up early one day before the heads fully opened.

That is what I call a real "Food Baby"

It will be intersting to see if these grow into larger heads. I have a frogspawn with 20+ heads and he has these "little heads" all over. It would be great if suddenly I had 30+ heads!

i had the same happen years ago. the key is waiting until the right size. if you get overly excited, and get it off now, it will die b/c the stalk is just not big enough. can't really see a stalk on yours. wait until it gets one, then take it out of your tank. the key is having a good pair of fragging scissors. you use your fingers, you'll just tear it wrong and it will die. i had probably 4 on my Froggie. one died b/c of improper fragging, other three grew into huge colonies.

I don't want to frag it, I want my frogspawn to get big :twitch: Thanks for the info though! I may do it some day.

+1 Time is key. I noticed one about the size of the one pictured about 3 months ago. Today it is about the size of a nickel. This is the first time I have noticed any of the little sproutlings grow to any decent size on mine.

I seem to rely more on the splitting than these babies...I have about 4 of them...

good luck! but what you might find is that it will get shaded out by the bigger ones on top of it and it might end up dieing as a result

I have the exact same thing on my green purple tip hammer coral that has three heads. Hopefully this one will grow. I think it's slowly getting a little bit bigger. After seeing your picture I looked at mine and noticed the small head.

My hammer also just popped up one of these bad boys, I'm excited I just hope it grows big.
