Agu,
Loved the article. I have had a Frogspawn in my 75gal tank for awhile and I really love it. It has grown quite a lot and what started out as a small single head on a skeleton branches out into several heads.
My coral seems to have a perhaps natural propagation method of releasing these heads lose into the water flow from time to time. As of now I have found three of these heads and moved them into a protected hangover style netted refuge basket. This allows for them to stay put which is what I most struggled with in leaving them lying among rubble or the sand bed. In the present position the polyps are extending and the animal is surviving. Now I wonder if it will grow a skeleton eventually or if I need to do something else to encourage it to attach to something. Presently these coral polyp heads are sitting in opened clam shells with some same inside .
Have you any experience with this? Do you have any best guesses or hunches you would like to pass along?
TIA - Dale
