Difference between frogspawns

[hops523]

I mainly see two different types of frogspawns, not the color or the way they grow, but how the tentacles look. Is there a specific name for the first two with more polyps(?) on the tentacles?

I've seen the first two sold as octospawn.

Doesn't look like a grape coral to me. Grapes look like stubby torches.

As been said there are differences between frogspawn. The most often three i have seen are

The one called octospawn. Which now most accept yaeyamaensis to be octospawn. Visually has more spots on the tentacles. And also more raised spots like the spots branch from tentacles. All i have seem have been clearish flesh with colored spots.

Paradivisia the most often seen branching frogspawn. Generally two forms clearish tentacles with colored spots. Like octospawn but less spots and generally larger spots. Almost no branching look to spots. The other color form has colored tentacles with clearish spots.

Divisia is the wall frogspawn. Often referred as true frogspawn. Tentacles look very similar to octospawn in color form and branching of spots.
