My frogspawns are without a doubt my favorite coral.

If I could do my tank over, I think I would have nothing but frogspawns.

Let's see your frogs and talk about keeping them. I have mine under T-5's.

Great looking corals. I had some that spread all over my tank until a freak snowstorm caused a loss of power for over a week & I lost everything. Kept mine in a 30 with 2 X 55 W PC.

Funny you should say this, I had my old 29 gallon wiped out from an ice storm here in Texas. Without power for 4 days, everything froze to death.

I gots' a generator now though!

I plan on getting a generator before next hurricane season.

Generator is on the "to buy" list. Insurance didn't cover any of the losses either.

could you define poor man's system i am switching over to reef soon

RCBruce · #9 (**permalink**) 04-23-2007, 06:16 AM

Simply stated it means I use the basics in my reef. I do not use a sump or metal hylides. I have a cascade 1200 canister filter with chemi-pure in it, a bak pak protein skimmer, 1 power head, and a basic set of T-5 lights.

rcbruce beautiful coral, could you discuss your perameters for keeping these beauts. id love to have a tank full myself. my imperator seems to leave a small tourch coral alone. im just converting to a reef myself. several small pieces have been donated to me. id sike to go in the lps direction.

thnx, chuck in florida

Here's a picture of my two frogspawns, I got them together so it kinda looks like one huge one, love this coral, its defiently one of my favorites...

blind1993 · #12 (**permalink**) 06-14-2007, 04:07 PM

dang krazy all the frogs pawns that i find are only branching

msbdiving · #13 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 03:02 PM

Nice color on the FS Krazy. That is one of the nicer ones I have seen.

blind1993 · #14 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 03:14 PM

ok a question everyone wants to know krazy how long did it take to grow that big. and i like the color.

e_baer · #15 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 08:21 PM

is frogspawn same thing as hammer?

Krazy · #16 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 08:31 PM

Thanks everyone, I actually moved them last night, When I got the bigger colony it was 5 heads, its now about 10 heads and growing, I'd say 6 months its doubled its-self, its a braching frogspwan Blind, the heads just expand so much you cant see any skeleton..

Frogspwan and hammer kinda look the same but they are different, the frogspawn as seen up in the picture has a round tip where the hammer has the same sorta look but the tips look like a small hammer instead of being round, I have hammer coral too, I'll see if I can dig up a picture of it so you see the difference...

Krazy · #17 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 08:37 PM

OK...

Here's two pics to compare frogspawn and hammer coral for ya

First is the Hammer :

Second is the Frogspawn :

blind1993 · #18 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 08:39 PM

it is in the same family. but i have noticed that hamers wave or move more. maybe it is just mine.

XuhQshinR · #19 (**permalink**) 06-18-2007, 05:32 PM

Here is a pic of mine.

I noticed that this particular head has divided mouth(s) does that mean that it is about to divide? This particular piece already has 11 heads on it.

e_baer · #20 (**permalink**) 06-18-2007, 05:59 PM

yeah, i was doing some research, i see the difference now.

XuhQshinR · #21 (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 01:01 PM

Here is a before (June 11th 2007) and Now (July 1st 2007) Photo of my frogspawn.
It seems to be doing quite well.

Thanks Rick and Ron. I am just happy that the corals are doing so well.
It is amazing how fast they are expanding and getting even more colorful.

On behalf of the Frogspawn, I thank you for the compliments

RC, some beautiful corals. I'm sorry but I gotta ask; what good is a generator when you're under 12 feet of water?
