Default Frogspawn Dieing?

I was showing my nephew my tank this morning and noticed three small bright green spots, I thought maybe it was a couple mushrooms or something till I looked closer and saw they were in fact the tips off the tentacles of my frogspawn.
When I looked closer at the frogspawn I saw 1 of its tentacles looking like it had been twisted like a bag tie and was about to fall off.
Could this have been nipped at?, Is it dieing? Its still opening up great, hasnt lost any color. Water parameters test out fine and they did at the LFS as well.

Do frogspawn stress and "shed" or could it just have been twisted arms and they broke off? Thanks for any info.

I have perosonally never heard of them shedding. Could have been twisted off. Depending on what fish you have, I dont think it was nipped off. If it is still opening fine and doesnt seem stressed I think it would be fine. But get another opinion.

tha sounds like it was injured? it happens when you take it out of the water, or when it is shipped, the tentacles fall of pretty easily when it crashes against the bag.
