| White Frogspawn? Ive had this frogspawn for a while and has been doing good. But now it is growing a little piece at the bottom which is white. Should I cut this piece off and put it somewhere else?
Thanks

| Sorry, can't see too much from pic.
Is it a new head forming? or a old one dying off. ---
Because of its position, light may be an issue and it is bleaching out. _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)

| Ill see if I can take a better pic tommorow. I dont really know if its an old piece or new piece so would not be able to tell you. You think I should cut it off anyways? It does not get much light since the other heads block out the light.
Thanks |

| I've had cases where the heads growing under much cover bleach out due to the light being blocked. |

| If it's an old head or a new head, the fact that it's white means that it's not getting enough light. I've found that once euphyllia corals go completely white and retracted (which yours doesn't look like it is...yet) that they're very difficult to bring back. |
