What type of frogspawn is this?

[Nick Steele]

Okay so I got this from a buddy but I’ve never seen a frogspawn this opened before. It is happy from what I can tell and readily accepts food. Does it just need to grow more before it looks a little more like a frogspawn

hi nice color,looks like has potential to open 2-3x more than it is in pics

How would you suggest that? It’s been in high-low flow and this is the most it’s opened. Currently in medium flow reflected off on back corner glass.

medium flow is prob best, frogs will extend to almost translucent ,like tree branches,what i see is pretty tight,maybe too well fed?

 

[fishguy242]

how often do you feed?

Feed twice a week

Looks like a Duncan haha

I actually thought this but it is definitely a frogspawn. It has multiple tips on each branch/tentacle

I have had mine for 2.5 years and never feed it.
It has 12 heads.

i agree frogs,hammers,torches,filter feed,bubbles,brains,different story,all need the alk&cal though

Thanks. Tank is a 120 only 7 months old. Just pulled out about 40 asterinas. They love my coralline on the tanks bottom i.e. the white spots.

High flow, oh no. Low flow especially new to the tank
