Transferred all coral from a 40 gallon to 100 gallon about 2 weeks ago.

Due to the size of the frogspawn I wasn't able to acclimate it. I did however make sure the new tank parameters were as close as I could make them, tests showed less than 5% difference in all parameters, most closer to 1-2%.

The frogspawn heads are all opening nice and full, but the tissue on the stocks has been receding on about half the heads.

The strange thing about this frogspawn is that in the 40g the tissue grew from the single head it started with, down onto the rock. So the recession in question has been from the rock up.

Don't want to lose this guy, any help is appreciated.

Thank you!!

The old and new tank parameters were very similar.
Nitrates 12
Phosphates 0.025

not sure how to help but if this helps that’s what happened to mine when i added it to my new tank it stopped when that tissue in the middle completely severed so there was no tissue connecting the 1 polyp to the 2 others i think it’s a growth thing maybe

Looks very much the same. I am hopefully that this may be a normal process, that was triggered by the move

yea it might be because when i acclimated the coral to the first tank i never saw tissue start to recede until i started not acclimating corals which i see frogspawn and others recede like that until they get rid of what they call not needed tissue or the polyps are completely separated till there is that healthy strip of tissue so this might just be a harsh way of acclamation for them

@Eagle_Steve ? thoughts ? dip?
I believe this is normal. Mine do it every time I move them to the frag tank for trimming. The new heads always seem to have the tissue on the skeleton recede to just below the actual head. Takes about a week or 2 to complete, I then chop up and move the main colony back to the big tank.
