Yep. Cost me all of $0. I gave my frag to my dads friend that I got years ago when they started their tank and they shutdown the tank today. This was the last survivor so they said it’s all yours. I’m not even a huge fan of frog spawns but I figured I can frag this up and trade for more!
Nice how it comes full circle :) It is an interesting coral and lighting seems to make the difference. At least in my opinion. I was talking to one of the lads over at
WWC about it via one of their threads. They had this photo and it was really intense and I was like hmm...mine never looked like that. One thing lead to another and we got to lighting, year of the tank, etc and between the two came to the reasoning was my use of MH and SVHO at the time vs today and the use of LED's.
Interesting enough I went ahead and ordered a small frag from another source as
WWC was out at the time and I didn't want them to make a specific frag for me (they offered which I thought was cool - more on this in a minute). Anyway the frag was super tiny but a really rich fluorescent green almost looking like anti-freeze or nuclear green with bright bold purple tips. It didn't last two minutes because my BIOTA captive raised matted file fish thought it was a Twinkie or such and ripped it to shreds eating it much to my gasp in horror. Next few days it was more or less down to the skeleton and in that time set up a trap to capture the bad actor. Once done day by day the frogspawn is coming back but this time a lot lighter in color. More cream with gray tips. Go figure.
Fast growing. Easy to frag. Can sting near by corals. Grows to epic proportions taking over the space they are in faster than other LPS like hammers. At least in my experience from owning them before and how fast mine today is recovering from its near death experience. Light flow though they are pretty mesmerizing.
Edit: Oh - forgot back to
WWC asking me if I wanted a special frag. No - I didn't want them to hunt or cut until it was on their rotation. Since I thought it was cool and never purchased from them I'm going to sign up for their club package. I figured I do similar with wine clubs might as well try one of their coral deals for a couple months just to say thanks.
Hope all is well with everyone. I know there is a lot going on with a lot of regulars in the thread here so all the best.
