I had a frogspawn lose its color and turn brown. Still alive and the color is coming back. I wonder if it was stressed and not a lighting issue?

Don't know what to say...

Too much flow, too much light

Always chance another coral in tank exuding some toxin inhibiting growth. Softies are well know for doing this.

Best defense against, is more frequent/size of water changes.

Also best answer for other possible problems...

Very likely a lighting issue. Color changes usually are. If new addition to tank I would say too big a lighting difference in your tank compared to where it came from.

Color coming back is good sign.


Good Luck Both.

Yep, confirms my impression that frogspawn likes less light rather then more...

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you feed a frogspawn? Just drop the food on it? I don't have one yet, but I will in about 2 months, and this is so far my favorite coral. Frags anyone wants to sell?
