Feeding frogspawn

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a frogspawn, but for the life of me, I can't find the time when it extends its sweepers for feeding. Normally around 11PM, my brain coral's sweepers come out, and that's when I feed the brain, but my frogspawn never has its sweepers out. It just shrinks up after lights out. My question is: how would I go about feeding the frogspawn?

I use a turkey baster and feed mine mysis shrimp when the pumps are OFF. Just squirt a tiny bit to each head. If the pumps are on, they aren't really keen on trying to grab the food, but once I turn the pumps off they snatch up the food real well!

I don't spot feed my frogspawn anything, it soaks up the nutrients in the water (ca/alk/mag/etc). I went from a 2 headed frag to a 50+ headed within a couple years. Shrinking up after lights out is normal from a frog and never have I witnessed 'feeding tentacles' in a euphyllia as such!

Same here. No spot feeding. Just keeps sprouting new heads.

Frogspawn corals are weird. They have very sticky tentacles and will act like they are taking food to the mouth, but they never really eat the food. At least in my experience. I still offered food anyway and shot it near the mouth but he never really ate it. Thing grew like nuts though, beautiful coral.

I think that's what's been happening to mine, now that you say that. I just assumed that since the food was sticking to the tentacles, it was eating it. My frogspawn seems very happy though. It's definitely one of the best attractions in my tank :)
