Hi all

I picked up this yellow/golden Frogspawn and it really hasn't gotten bigger or healthier looking than this. It's in a pretty low flow area, and probably what I would consider medium-low light.

Also, it kind of looks different from the left hand side Frogspawn you see. Like the little dots are closer to this one's tentacles...

Weekly water changes are done, I guess I'll get a test kit and report back this week.

Looks to me to be an Octospawn, not Frogspawn. Unfortunately I can’t be of any further assistance. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on placement will chime in

I'm surprised it's been that shriveled and hasn't died yet. I'd take that as a good sign. All I can think is that it's in too high of a flow area.

The only other thing I can think of besides flow is it might have been nicked when handling it on the way to your tank.

Just keep everything stable and leave it alone!

Octofrogspawn and Frogspawn are the same Octofrogspawn just has more knobs bothe Euphyllia sp.

Euphyllia divisa
Euphyllia paradivisa
(branching)

My Euphyllia are lower to mid level under 2 4' Current Marine Orbits.

This is a good read.

I’d move it back from the side of tank to get it more light
