Frogspawn

[mwsumner1]

Is my frogspawn happy or is he over extending for something?

looks good to me. If you think it is overextending, it may want more light. I keep my euphyllias at the top of my tank. I do use moderate light in a lps dominant tank, not super high for sps.

No way for it to over extend [emoji4]

Thanks just making sure.

I'll add my input as well and say it looks just fine, just remember they like to be fed and he should stay that way (:

 

[mwsumner1]

I feed him a three times a week which was what store told me to do it is cool watching it happen

 

[AcroNem]

Awesome that's a great feeding schedule, I've seen them grow surprisingly quick I hope it does for you as well.

 

[mwsumner1]

So far so good. I got it about a month ago and he is definitely spread out more since then and I am hoping the little guy will spilt here soon and get even bigger

Didn't know anything about feeding these and I have 2 fairly large ones! What are people feeding and how?

 

[mwsumner1]

I do microplankton out of a syringe

I feed my Euphyllia fauna marin LPS color and growth pellets for most of their diet, but will feed mysis every now and again. My systems get fed a lot of other smaller foods and I see them catch that out of the water column so they eat a lot.

Mine don't get any direct feeding, just what floats around after I feed other corals. These all started from 1-2 head frags. They will extend from the base almost in a cup like shape when they want more light.

I give mine a couple pieces of Mysis shrimp 2x per week and I also dose 'fuel' 2x per week

My camera really sucks, there are 5 varieties of frogspawn and hammers. A rainbow and vivid green frog with a purple tip, orange, and pink hammer. Wish I could could get a good pic, combining different colors and varieties of these guys are really spectacular.

 

[mwsumner1]

Yeah looks awesome I might have to create my own version of that! I heard the price of them are going to go up a bit more here soon

My frogspawn is doing really well but my two aussie gold hammers aren't nearly as extended as the forgspawn. They sit essentially in the same region of the tank.
