frogspawn question


How do I know when my frogspawn has split all of the way? And how do I frag it? Do i simply split it apart? What is best for the coral?

You should be able to clearly see distinctive heads on the coral, each one having its own skeletal structure. You can cut it as close to the base, away from the head, of the skeleton as possible and separate it from the other heads. Everything should be fine with that.

That one looks like its not rdy to be fraged atm be careful because they can brake at the head and couse massive damage to them and may not recover.

I'm not in a hurry, I just had no idea what it's cycle is. It started with two heads, and now each head is splitting. Can I leave it alone or will it start to fall apart? I like how big it is now and would like to see it one huge cluster. It's about 8" round now! It's impressive when it's open to it's fullest extent.

New heads start to grow the skeleton first, so you don't need to worry about it falling apart on you. I have seen some that were 12 inches across before.
