Touching Frogspawns
I have 2 different metallic frogspawn specimens in my tank. I bought 1 about 2 months ago (2 heads) and I bought the other last week (5 heads). Is it ok for these 2 specimens to touch eachother. I would like to glue the 2 pieces together bud didn't know if they would kill one another. Thanks for your time and advice.

Not sure about killing each other but you wil want to leave room for growth. They can grow really fast.

They won't sting each other, but as mentioned they need room to spread and grow.

I too would keep them seperate. Put them close in the tank and they will eventually grow together. Or, put them far apart and then you have two colonies growing. Somethin to tink about....

These are Hammers (but same family as frogspawn) and they are fine to touch. I have them close enough that they touch when fully opened but they still have plenty of room to grow.
Actually, here's 2 frogspawns together. Again, I have them placed that both have room to grow.

Personally, I wouldnt put them that close together. Reason for this is that right now they seem to be doing fine as they are. But what I believe will happen is that instead of growing in all directions evenly and balanced, they will start to deviate to the outside due to the availibilty of light. Frogspawn use light all the way to the base of the (tantacles-hmm not sure). Anyway, if you take that light away from the bases, they will shrivel up and grow more outside, leaving you with a lopsided looking coral. JMO but give it time and they individually will be as big as both of them together now.
