ReefSafeSolutions Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hey everyone, I put this frogspawn in my tank a couple of weeks ago and it's much fuller in my tank than in the store...so much so that I noticed something funny...the current blows the tentacles backwards a bit (too much flow maybe?) and exposes the "mouth" of the coral. Observe: Is this normal/OK? Or should I rotate the coral a little bit so the mouth isn't exposed like that? Sometimes it opens the mouth pretty wide, and other times it's closed...kinda freaky, hah. Anyways, does this look alright to you guys? Thanks! Link to comment
clownfitch Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is the sign of a happy frogspawn. No need to change anything unless you dont want it winking at you. lol Link to comment
ReefSafeSolutions Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 If the frogspawn is happy, I'm happy! Thanks! Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Looks okay to me. If it was getting blasted too much, It'd probably close up a bit. Link to comment
Juuls Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Your frogspawn looks great! My frogspawn seems to have several 'moods/modes' Turn the lights off or upset it and it closes up. Fighting and it can send out strange bubble line things, this doesn't appear to cause it problems but the flowerpot didn't like it so I put a bit more space between them and this stopped they both look great now. Flowing away in the current with it's branches reaching out so that you could think the three heads were one. and lastly in line with your comment; the general response at feeding, it seems to know (?) then shuts up again and goes back to flowing in the current.

Mr. Microscope Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think that's actually an octo spawn. Mine also let off the polyp tips into the water collumn. My acans kept catching them as did my acros. Anything they touched died. I ended up giving it away to someone with a bigger tank. Link to comment
Juuls Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 If i was to guess it is Euphyllia Paradivisia (branched) Euphyllia Divisa apparently has a wall (a 'true frogspawn' wall not branched) and the there is yaeyamaensis (true octopus) possibly from what I have read. All three have loosely been termed frogspawn as a 'common name' which does not help me figure it all out. However the descriptions/pictures and corals for sale do tend to get skewed and confused which is making my research into these guys more challenging. Would love to find some book or person who could definitively give the differences in these corals and clarify my confusions Link to comment
