congrats! mine sprouted out a few heads just a week or so ago as well. I'm surprised that as young as my tank is, my corals are propagating as fast as they are..

How long will it take to be a big head?

 

[ek9vboi]

Same thing on mine but I have a few heads sprouting. I guess since my tank is more SPS, the water quality is great, therefore they are popping up all over.

I've had baby heads for almost 2 months now and they have tripled in size, but haven't grown much skeleton. HTH

 

[kissman]

this started as 1 head and before you knew it I had 2 and now have a 3rd.

Hi,

You can cut the head frog gently (can only cut in the skeleton) and set in a stone. In six months will be the size of a big mouth.
If you do not your mouth will die in six messes, due to lack of light.

Wonder why the first one didnt die? Started put as 1 head now is 2 and working on 3

My tank is 5 months old and I added a frogspawn about 3 months ago and same thing....I noticed 1 baby popping out about 3 weeks ago now there are at least 7-8 I'll post a picture when the light comes on tomorrow.

 

[yamaha16bw]

Took this before the light came on cause otherwise the heads swell up and you cant see the babies.

 

[kissman]

Thats awesome

 

[yamaha16bw]

What colors is yours?

 

[kissman]

Its a light brown with green tips

 

[Theodoro]

He did not die but will.
Lack lighting and he can not develop.

 

[kissman]

so far so good, he is still there hasn't really grown much but I can still see the little green coming out

 

[warfanax]

I have 3 baby head growing on my frogspawn too. does this mean if we don't cut the head that they will not develop at all? is it a must?

 

[cjk76]

I doubt that corals regularly cut themselves... If you let the heads grow, it will slowly grow away from the colony until it gets enough light. Right now it is still getting energy from the mother colony. Don't worry about it and just let it grow!
