Frogspawn dropping another head.

Will spending many days of just hanging there, it finally started to work it's way down like a repeller on a rope and settled in this spot, when I got home from work it was no longer attached to it's string. It's still in the same location with it's polyps upward. It seems to have found a home on it's own. Will it grow a new skeleton and continue to grow?

 

The polyps do still reach out.

 

My Frogspawn is getting ready to drop another head. He has a nice cone shaped end making it easy to find a hole to put it in.

 

That's awesome. I didn't know they reproduced that way.

 

I didn't either and not sure if that's what it's doing. I haven't had any confirmation if anyone has had this happen with them.

 

I've had the same thing happen with hammers and Favias. There are a few pieces in the frag tank that reproduced this way. The Favia's seem to do it when they run out of room to grow, like over a ledge. The hammer, no idea why. They don't look to0 fresh while they are doing it, but they tighten back up when they let go of the piece.

 

Will that's cool then, it means I am going to have 2 new baby frogspawns ;D The first one that broke off is acting like nothing to happen.

 

Very cool and nicely documented, thank you.

Throws a wrench into polyp bail out, and keeps it interesting.

 

I had a bubble coral bail and start regrowing skeleton. Your spawn may do the same.

 

That's Awesome,
