Whats happened to my frogspawn?

[Sarah1990]

I got my first corals 4 days ago a pulsing xenia and a frogspawn, they look happy to me although the pulsing xenia I've only seen pulsing once..is it not happy?
I noticed this morning what looks like a little bit of the frogspawn coral nearby in the rock. Its moving in the flow but it doesnt look too rough and I've not seen any fish go near it...any idea what has happened ir what I should do?

Nothing leave alone. Looks like peace of frogspaw popped off. Good looking frogspaw

Will that grow?

Will that grow?

I would think a hole head would have pop off and attach. But if it is just tentacles I don't think it will

I doubt it will grow, id just leave it and see. Im kind of surprised it doesn't look deflated

Sometimes frogspawn will do polyp basil out like other corals. I don’t believe anyone has had the piece that bails survive though.

The rest of the frogspawn looks happy though.


As far as the Xenia you may never really see it pulse if it’s in decent flow. Mine sit there and sway only to pulse when I do a water change since there’s 0 movement in the tank.

Honestly, I would leave everything alone. The main colony looks great! If it keeps happening, then you may want to look for problems but sometimes, coral just do weird things.
