Should i be worried?

Hello Helpful people,

I think I bought a frogspawn a couple of months ago and put it into my tank next to my hammer coral, the frogspawn has now grown at a significantly quicker rate and is irrating the hammer. Is this known to be invasive?

Thanks in advance.

the frogspawn is happy and thriving so leave it where it is, move the hammer to somewhere else in the tank if you have space and let it settle down, you should see more extension from the hammer soon.

I’d not classify frogspawn as invasive.
My hammers and frogs all touch each other without issue.
Now if it starts to shadow it, give it some space.

Thank you both. I'll keep an eye on the situation, don't really want to move it.

I would also recommend moving the hammer and leaving the frogspawn where it is. I have also noticed in my systems that a frogspawn appears hardier than any of the hammers I have tried.

Well thats certainly a nice problem to have! I'd move the hammer and leave the frogspawn like everyone else has mentioned.

If it gets to large you can always frag off a head, sell it, give it away or get store credit at your lfs. I’ve fragged mine many times.

UPDATE

I Moved him over and he's not looking to great but neither is the frogspawn, I don't think it's because they miss each other.

Tanks running at :
8.1dkh
450 ppm Cal
1500 ppm mag
20 pm nit
0.02 ppm Phosphate
8.2 ph

Alk fell to 6.9 dkh recently bit did water change 20% and since started dosing alk more frequently.

Thanks
