Sold to me as a frogspawn

[AustinB]

I’m adding to my euphyllia collection, and I bought this guy as a frogspawn, but I’ve seen similar frags called octospawn. I’m not too familiar so I’d appreciate some input, thanks guys!

Thats an octospawn... frog spawns look like frog feet, like that coral you have on top.
That yellow one on top is a frog spawn.

The one on top is a WWC neon green hammer I bought directly from them in a WYSIWYG eBay auction 7 years ago. He just gets a little funny lookin when he splits.

no it's just a regular frogspawn. Frogspawns have their secondary acrospheres on a single plane perpendicular to the tentacle stalk, while octospawns have their secondary acrospheres all around the tentacle stalk. Octospawns also have their secondary acrospheres pulled closely to the tentacle stalk while frogspawns have theirs on branches like this coral.
