    I have had a single head frogspawn frag in my tank for the last six months. Was doing great fully expanded and growing well. Two weeks ago it split and now has two heads. Since the split it has never fully expanded again, appears somewhat shriveled and both mouths are open and exposed. Is this normal after splitting or should I be concerned.

    I would assume its normal to some extent, The split will cause some stress on the coral and it has to regenerate to heal itself.

    I really wanted a branching frogspawn, but Appearently I didnt get that when I ordered.

    It is normal. I bought 7 heads once and notice one of the heads is twin (I mean two heads in one branch). It took about 3 months in my tank to split completely with their own skeleton.
