This is a spawn I rescued from the fish store I work part time hear and there for.

Get this…the owner of the fish store through this poor spawn in his rock tank which has no good lighting and on top of that it was not placed in any way to get light.

I asked…What is going on hear? He says…I dismantled a tank for a guy and they looked dead so I pitched them. So when I closed the store that night I took them home. There is also another head which is not pictured. I hope to bring the color back some day. Then I will bring him to my home and say nice dead corals dude.

People like that upset me sometimes.

Another post where I get to play too!

My larger froggie during spot feeding.
The thing just chows down at feeding time and is sticky like crazy. This picture is from a couple of weeks ago.


I spotfeed mysis shrimp and cyclopeeze twice a week. I recently moved it to a very low flow area and it seems even happier than it was when this picture was taken.

can you put two different frogspawn morphs next to each other and not worry about them stinging each other? If they do sting each other what are the signs of it?

this is my frogspawn (3 heads) and a hammer attached to a dead frogspawn head with a rubberband. the hammer has a bigger head than the frogspawns. i got the frogspawn 2 days ago and the hammer 2 weeks ago. love them.

question: i have had problems with water quality for the last week but its comeing back around now. the hammer isnt "sticky" and doesnt seem to eat (however yesterday it seemed to eat but i dont know what it would look like)

can many species of euphyllia coexist peacefully or will they sting one another?

Here’s an update on the so-called dead spawns from the LFS listed above it looks like it is getting some color back too.




My other one is doing well also.

Well,its not a frogspawn but here's a growth sequence of my branching hammer(E.parancora).This coral grew from 4 to 43 heads in a little over a yr.

Check your reef club and their frag swaps - at our last frag swap we had two different frogspawn varieties available. From what I see at the LFS, they seem to damage in shipping [though FWIW, one of my 3 types was shipped to me, attached to styro].

But the branching kinds are very amenable to fragging, and at least around here they're fairly common frags ... rightly so, for such a gorgeous coral.

This originally seemed like a sorta average variety when a small frag ... but having grown out I've come to enjoy the fact that some tips are green, some are pink, some are green with pink areas ... I really need to get a larger tank, give this coral a foot and a few years and let it show off.


Radium + actinic make this color oversaturated, but here's the three morphs I have ... like them all

And here's an older pic of my "Euphyllia garden" before my hammer got real big.

Sounds like a happy hammer.

Amazing how these corals grow when conditions are ideal, perhaps it's just certain clones/varieties ... though obviously you're doing something right

To limit my frogspawn's size in my 58, it seems like cutting it back to 4-5 heads every year is almost required so that it never gets above 20 heads and threatens the rest of the tank.

You know,I think your right Mark.I have a branching Frogspawn right next to it.That coral is probably a yr older than the Hammer that grew so fast.Although it has had decent growth,it only added about 25 heads from a 2 headed frag.Another thing i found surprising(which now makes sense to me why this frogspawn didn't grow as fast) is that when i fragged both corals,the frogspawn's skeleton was very dense compared to the hammers.

Cool. You guys have some very nice frogs! Mine is green with purple tips, but the green is no where near as dark or bold as all of yours. It sometimes looks a bit transparent. Is that normal?

Also, what do you guys feed it? And how, do you just squit it into the polyps?

I just recently got a 3 headed frogspawn and have not been feeding it so that could be why its a bit transparent.
