|  Frogspawn - Low Light?
My frogspawn in main tank have been dropping heads rather regularly.
Just for fun and to see how they would do, I put a couple in my "low light" 12 gallon Nano (24w).
Surprisingly they are doing Great! --- good color and full expansion.
This is a very light forgiving and fast growing coral.   _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."

Yes they always did better for me mid way under VHO's on the M/H I put them right on the bottom and under a hover hang of sorts to shade them a bit.That goes for all LPS I ever had. Oh and feed that a chunk of the squid or shrimp every week or two.. watch it grow then.

I started out with 1 small colony and now have 5 large multiheaded groups.
Look allot like a Hammer, but much more "friendly."

I have mine stuck in a piece of LR. Would it prefer to be in the sand? I have it fairly high in my tank now and I think I will lower it based on this thread. Anything else I should think about with placement?

Frogspawn cozying up with Kenya Tree... 
Was single "head" about 5 mos. ago. 
With Coris... Frogspawn Pics
The really neat thing about frogspawn is that it "friendly" (unlike hammer)...is generally not very expensive, grows very fast, is very light forgiving...is a beautiful coral.
A perfect starter...
