David42 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I purchased this frogspawn this weekend at my LFS and just noticed today this clear bubble where the mouth is at . The coral looks Healthy beside the bubble. Can anyone tell what this is ? Ive heard of some Hammers doing this if there splitting or making a new head . Is my FS doing the same thing? Thanks for your response in advance David Link to comment

I was getting worried for a minute there. Sorry for the picture quality as it was taken with my iphone. BTW how long does it usually take for the bubble to go away and a new mouth to form?

David42 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Bump. To the last question Link to comment
Hextall Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Bump. To the last question It's happened to me twice with the one I have... the first time seemed like 4 weeks... the second time about a week. Link to comment
crailtap25 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 it happens when hammer coral splits as well. It should be split into 2 heads in 2 weeks or so. oops i see you already know hammers do that too Link to comment
David42 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks for the replys guys. Im just suprised that i havent even had it for a week and its already splitting Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have a purple tip frogspawn has had two bubbles (two seperate times) form within the week. I did notice a new mouth, so basically this is a good thing that the spawn is growing and thriving. Link to comment
Cintax Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Mine did the same thing, it took about four weeks to finish splitting. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Cool and interesting. I crop dusted it Sunday with Oyster feast.... beside the random spot feeding. So far it is the largest coral in my tank. Purple shrooms are coming second. Link to comment
