Is frogspawn really that difficult?

[SkinnyMcGinny]

Last time I went to the reef store the lady talked me out of what I really wanted which was some frogspawn, saying it was hard to care for. Instead she said a torch was easier so that’s what I got. My torch is very healthy and happy and seems like an easy coral…but I really still want the frogspawn

Are they really that hard? I just love the bubbly look and fluorescent dots.

Otherwise I was thinking bubble tip anemone since it sort of has a similar look but I know that would potentially wander around the tank. Plus it’s totally different, not stony. Idk

In my tanks, hammer coral has been virtually unkillable (and I have killed plenty of corals). They can handle really dirty water and a variety of lighting, from one thumb sized plug i have grown large-watermelon sized colonies that I periodically have to prune. In fact, I kept hammers in a tank I used to just top off with tap water, and my tap water is like 350 TDS (thanks LA). The one thing I have noticed is they love flow. Not enough and they struggle. Give em flow and they thrive. Every tank is different, but I’ve had way more success with hammers than torches. PM me and I’ll send you some. Thats how much I have growing.

This up for others? Send hammers I’ll send some frags back your way?

Edit*
Don’t just need to be hammers lol been trying to line up a random frag swap I’ll send you something you send back something you feel is equalish value!

My last tank before it broke I had so much frogspawn I was giving it away. It was easy for me but the difference with a torch is Flow! Frogspawn likes it gentle whereas torch like to get whipped around. If you have good water quality and decent lighting you should have no problems.

If you can do a torch you can do a frogspawn.

Torches these days are more in cost then a frogspawn
