Is this bubble BAD? FROGSPAWN information Please!

[legacy2mj]

My frogspawn has had this bubble on its main head for a few weeks now. The coral as a whole seems to be doing ok... But i just wanted to make sure this isnt something bad that I need to attend to. Any information you guys could give me would be awesome.

I'm going to say it's probably bad but have no clue. I'm a huge euphyllia nut and have never seen it.

I did a little reading on it in other discussions and some people say this is what happens when the head splits... So I will keep an eye on it and see what happens.

I talked to my buddy at my LFS, he is saying its euphyllia reproduction, says the head will prolly split and not to be surprised if I find scattered babies in the tank within a few months. Which would be awesome.

Oh, I have seen that before. I have that happen to my euphyllia from time to time and it has had no ill effects. :)

Same I have two separate euphyllia and they have both had the same thing occur one right after the other and I haven't noticed anything off either

I have seen that too.

Always wondered what it was from.

Thanks.

Is natural head splitting, congratz!!

 

[that Reef Guy]

How Often are the Bubbles typically around? (How long does it take for an average head to split)?

 

[halperin]

Happened to mine snd turned out okay

 

[the new guy]

I know mine they don't stay around to o long I'd imagine a couple of days to a week but I haven't really kept track the picture is of the one that had the bubble last you can see where it's starting to divide I took it with my iPhone so it's not the best quality

 

[legacy2mj]

That's a tiny bubble in comparison. But it is right on one side of the mouth just like mine. Making me think it will split... I have 2 heads with this bubble. My buddy at the LFS says it's how they reproduce. I'm interested to see what happens

 

[the new guy]

Ya the picture is after the bubble

 

[the new guy]

Reproduction makes since though after the bubble on the in the picture it looks like its splitting in the center and on the other frag I got after the bubble it started sprouting new heads on the sides

 

[kjboggs]

Splitting heads. My hammer does it often, but it's only been that large once, but is a good sign.

2 separate frogspawns doing this now. One is huge!
