Frogspawn placement

[Paul31733]

Hey everyone!
I recently purchased a frogspawn online. It was not WYSIWYG and this thing is much bigger than I expected.
I have mixed emotions about this. I love that it's huge but I wanted it for a specific spot in my tank and cannot put it there.
Anyways. Where I have decided to place it for now, it is kind of brushing my liferock and half of it is in a shaded area.
I have watched tidal gardens video which says they will grow in low par ok so this is why I have placed it here.
I am wondering everyone's opinion on whether this will be an ok forever home or not?
Thanks.
Paul.

It looks happy to me, I would just monitor your polyp extension. I also dont think thats a frog spawn and actually an octo spawn, I'm not an expert but I think the buds along the stem is an identifier. My frogspawn only has them at the extremity.

Thanks for your reply! I am still new to the hobby, tank is 4 months old. I purchased this labelled as a bright pink frogspawn. I wonder what others think?
Tbh I will love it no matter what it is

The more light and moderate flow the better. How do I know?

Here is closer picture. You think octospawn or frogspawn?

Definitely looks like a cool Euphyllia, trying to find an octospawn myself for my Euphyllia garden I have growing. I currently have a hammer and frogspawn.

What are you using to take your pictures? I bought these lenses for my phone, but I'm not exactly happy with how they come out. I also didnt want to turn the lights on my system, I have the light schedule later in the day because I get off of work late at night.

I recently got a new cell phone. It is called a Motorola edge plus. It has a really good camera as I only point and click!! It has a macro mode on it so I use macro lens + macro mode on phone!!

Man that thing is awesome! How many heads would something like that have? And how long have you been growing this?

Last time I counted 18 heads. It started as 2 heads 2 years ago, barely covered frag plug

For all those playing at home, the official count as of this morning is 31 heads (sorry glass needs cleaning)

That's probably bigger than my Evo tank haha awesome!
