blk_g20 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 got this guy for $22. has two heads along with several dead branches. looked like a decend deal to me, but i'm a noob. the picture is taken after 10 mins of placing in the tank. and since then i've realized that it might sting the xenia, anybody think i should move it to a different spot.

jdsabin1 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Originally posted by Acoustic Yes. Frogspawn will terminate your xenia in less than a day. It will terminate your xenia with extreme prejudice ). Frogspwan packs a meanass wallop to just about anything. Give it PLENTY of room as those tentacles will start to spread out. Link to comment
TiGs Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Where did you get your frog spawn from? You should cut away the dead branches so it doesnt look like it died in your tank. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Take a pic of that thing when it opens up. Frogspawns are definitely one of my favorite corals. Link to comment
blk_g20 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 got it from Aquarium Concepts in hayward. i read somewhere that i can cut these guys with a dremel, is that correct? Link to comment
TiGs Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Yea, u can dremel off the dead branches. Link to comment
DarkDevil Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I just went to aquarium concept last Sat, their equipments and fish have pretty good selections, but their corals sucks, sucks in terms of no good selection and all of them are simple common ones, the color isn't any good either, store is clean but too "commerical", I like tropical paradise better, altho they look like warehouse, their selections are very good, a lot of semi-rare color and species, just for the frogspwan they have at least 3-4 colors... oh BTW, my frogspawn once touched my xenia, seems like my frogspawn got shocked more then my xenia does, I don't know...

KamDesai Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Agreed, Tropical Paradise is much better of a store as far as selection. My frogspawn is super aggressive. If anything is near him, he will extend his tentacles out and sweep around to try to touch. He killed off a few heads of my Zoos. Link to comment
surfy Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 You can also just break off the dead skeleton(s) like you would a wishbone. But I would carefully cut the one closest to the two heads. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 A pair of scissors is all I have ever needed for mine. Link to comment
LIVEROCKER Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 id keep him on the other side of the tank.my frogspawns pretty aggresive he is always trying to sting something so i keep him away from everything else. Link to comment
tau626 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 yeah tropical paradise is better...but the Air Cond is better at aquatics...I also like to pick up a frag or two at TP Link to comment
blk_g20 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 i've cut the thing down the middle and now have two separate ones since the heads were on different major branches. and i've relocated it to the opposite side of the tank. for future references, what can i put close to the frogspawn, if anything? how about the xenia? i agree TP is great place. but the frogspawns i saw there were all $35+ i think. althought they might be bigger frags, i can't remember. nice to see all you guys in the same area. do you guys go to the BARE meetings? i'd love to but i get off of work late.

Acoustic Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Listen to us...............Do not put anything near it! Only a low growing coral like zoos or gsp might creep in under its attack. Link to comment
TiGs Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I guess you have to be at TP at the right time, I got my hammer frag for $15. Link to comment
Caesar Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 will the new branches not grow a new head? I have a new frogspawn that has one dead branch and I was hoping that one day it would grow a new head Link to comment
blk_g20 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 i was under the impression that the dead heads will be dead, and new growth comes from splitting of the live heads. somebody correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment
skeletor Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 you are wrong, IME anyway. I had a frogspawn frag which totally died. It dissapeared one night and I found it down the back of the rocks a couple of months later. I moved the skeleton to the top of the tank and in a few weeks it grew a tiny new head out of the side of the skeleton. -skeletor- Link to comment
blk_g20 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 cool, maybe mine will sprout some new growth in the dead heads. Link to comment
blk_g20 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 here a picture of after cutting and relocating the frogspawn. not sure if its fully extended as i never had one before and can't recall when it was at the LFS. i separated the two heads but ended up putting them close to each other... Link to comment
Caesar Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 skeletor - so a new head started to grow and none of the dead heads came back right? Blk_g20 - it took about week before my frogspawn would fully extend. Link to comment
