Frogspawn... spawning

[danispin720]

Hey Fam,
I guess this is a good problem to have BUT, is this something that i should start... fragging? Will there be an issue if I just let it continue to grow? Or will they grow out of control and basically kill each other due to lack of space? I want to avoid moving/cutting my frogspawn as much as possible but if need to take action for it to be happy, ill do so.
fyi its retracted since its late at night and tucked away to sleep. Second pic is how ot looks during the day.

your frogspawn won’t sting your other frogspawn, grow it out

Sorry I'm new to reef tanks and lps. How did you make it spawn? What did you do? Parameters?

Sorry I'm new to reef tanks and lps. How did you make it spawn? What did you do? Parameters?

Parameters are:
Phosphate .25 to .5... hard to read
Alkilinity is at 10
Calcium at 490
Magnesium at 1270
Salinity .26
Nitrate is showing 0 on my testing kit but im try to elevate it a bit so i dump a lot of food
Ph 8.4
Amonia 0

Ive had this frogspawn for about 3 years now and it started with only one head. About a year later it split into two... a year after that both head split into two (making 4) and now they are starting to split and noticed the small spawn on the base. I feed it a mix of reef roids, AB and clam eggs, as i do to all my other corals and they are growing at an insane rate!

For me, those little heads on the flesh band never amount to anything. The only growth I observe is through heads splitting. Just a suggestion I would raise your magnesium up to 1350 or higher.

Everyday for the past 3 month (or more) ive been dosing 20ml of magnesium (all-for-reef) and i cant get it pass 1300 mark ... i should read the intructions again but i think that was the max to add per day.

I use all for reef daily but it doesn’t increase magnesium but maintains your parameters. It recommends getting your levels to where you want them and then start using to maintain them at the level they are at. I use Fritz magnesium product that I dose newly made salt water for my water change weekly.
