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.



;D

 

UM.. dropping heads is that reefer talk for multiplying???
If so cool bannanas

 

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.

 

Yep, that is way they spread themselves about.

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 7 different varietys of hammer and frog spawn Aussie and such they seem to do good about anywhere you want them in your tank. from 400 halides to power compacts

 

I have one in my 29g nano with CFs -- it's doubled in size within 4 months -- sitting on the sandbed.

 

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?

 

Congrats omard....

 

My Frogsprawn is half way down and under the MH, but I have never fed it like Tangster mentioned. Hmmmmmm

Was single "head" about 5 mos. ago.

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...
