Tips for transferring Frogspawn to another tank

[PirateLove]

I have had this frog spawn for about two years now. I bought it with two heads and now have two separate pieces with 9 heads on each. I plan on waiting until the lights go out and it is closed. Should I place the whole thing in Revive before transferring? It is about the size of a softball when opened. Also, if my two tanks are the same salinity, should I still acclimate it to the tank?

Sorry for the dumb questions, just don't want to kill it.

i just take it out and put in right into another tank. both of my tanks have the same salinity and they're in the same room thus same temperature. you might wanna temperature acclimate if the difference of two tanks is big.

I have a massive frogspawn that I have been fragging like crazy over the last few months. I just wave my hand over it a few times to get it to close up, you don't have to wait for lights out. I usually flip it upside down before removing from the tank and during fragging. I don't know if holding it upside down really helps but IMO with how sharp the coral can be it seems to me it would damage the tissue less moving it in this manner so that's what I have always done. I also don't think you need to acclimate it if parameters are similar, but to each their own, I have never really had an issue transferring LPS corals like frogspawn, duncans, hammers etc. good luck

Unless you have a pest problem, no real need to dip it.

As far as going from your 1 tank to your other, as mentioned, if the parameters are pretty much the same, just wave your hand around it, it'll close up, scoop it out and put it right into the other tank.

I've moved entire reefs from one tank to another, and just walked the corals across the room and put them into the new tank.

My tanks are on different levels in the house, so I have to put my hand under the coral to catch the dripping water, but it's basically pull out of tank, run upstairs, put in tank.
