New Frogspawn

Hey guys, I've been reading posts on this site for about a year now when I first started my saltwater tank and I thought it would be a good time to join cause I had a few questions of my own.

I got a new frogspawn today in hopes that my false clown will host it (if not its still an awesome coral for the tank) and I was just wondering how long does it take for it to fully extend again after its been in the tank. Up until now I've only had some zoas and some mushrooms so this is my first LPS. I acclimated it for about 45 minutes, dipped it, then placed it in the tank. I left the lights off for about 3 hours and then turned my two ascentias on. It hasn't been too long but I was just wondering what is a normal amount of time for it to fully acclimate? Its extended a little but not a whole lot. Sorry if this is a newbie question.

 

it will probably extend tomorrow or the next fully

 

Welcome to 3reef.

They can be picky at first but if flow is mod, parameters are in line it should open fully within a day.

The clown may or may not reside in it, clowns are weird that way. Mine used to prefer the mag-float over a coral or anemone.

Heads up: Sometimes clowns can kill an Euphyllia by stressing it with too much rubbing.

 

Wow, I didn't know that. What would be a sign that it is stressing it or if its doing well if the clown desides to try to host it?

 

If it deflates, and/or spits out brown stuff...that is not a good thing...if its fully inflated and happy and reproducing...then its healthy

 

My little FS stayed closed or withdrawn for a couple of days...then BOOM...now I harvest a branch a couple times a year.....mine withdraws/expels and then "refills" fairly regular.
Agree with previous statements...chill-ax, it will fill up when it gets comfy. : ) ..granted all is well in your tank. ; )

 

I guarantee your clown will not host your Euphyllia.On the other hand your Euphyllia may host your clown.
Dear Lord give me strength.;D

 

Man vinny, this has been a long hard day for ya bro! I tried, but alas, i feel its hopeless!

 

Wearing me out!!!!;D;D Sorry Poseidon don't want you to feel picked on. We just have been having a rash of these posts lately.Welcome to 3Reef.Matt is our host.lol

 

Haha, my bad I didn't realize that this had been asked so much. The only reason I considered the frogspawn was that I had heard some horror stories about keep anemones. I was looking at a nice bubble tip at the store but just wasn't sure so I went with what I considered the safer bet. I plan on having a pretty heavily stocked reef and was told to stay away from the anemones.
