WTB: Octopus Frogspawn
 

Looking for a few heads of the octopus frogspawn. Let me know if you have some.

Here's a link to what it looks like

Not looking for the regular frogspawn, pictured in top left corner.

Thanks.

Frogspawn
 

Looks like a regular frogspawn to me... is there something I am missing? Top left looks more like a hammer to me.


I have one identical... but much much deeper red.

Very nice piece. Mine went through some sort of decline recently and I lost about 8 heads.

If you want something slightly different Oceanic Corals has a beautiful orange frogspawn. It's a really unique colour.

What i'm looking for is the one with multiple tips per tentacle/sweeper. What i consider the regular one is the more common single tip, sometimes more but mostly single tip. Some what like a torch.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll actually be out there tomorrow.

If only they had the purple one that i've seen popping up in the states. That's UNIQUE.

Yup
 

Yea thats the first time I heard the name octopus frog.... just a regular old frogspawn to me!! LOL! At least thats all we call them here. I have never seen a frogspawn with "single tips". A hammer has single tips... like in your photo... as does torch.

You should have no issues finding someone with one in your area. Very common.

Appears "Octopus" is just another name for the "regular" frogspawn.

let me know if you find a source, been looking for some myself. If its that common in Alberta you are lucky, only know of a couple of pieces here in BC.

Serious
 

Really? It is hard to find? Any shop in town carries them... in a variety of colors.

I am not sure how far from JL you are... but if push comes to shove.... they seem to have a couple varieties.

Not the same corals buddy, same family but not exactly the same coral. I have both and these two are definitely not the same.

Hmmm

I cant tell the difference!!! LOL! Nice pieces! Look the same but one being huge the other not so huge!

I believe there are 2 types. I have one just like yvr75 on the bottom pic and it is a wall type of skeleton with bigger tips. I think the pic on top is a branching type. Too bad I can't frag mine, otherwise I'd ve sold you some as it is getting too big for my tank. :wink:

I k now which one your talking about. I saw 2 or 3 at King Eds yesterday. $50 each I think. 3-4 heads each piece. I am looking for frags of that too, but haven't seen any around except in the shops.

If you guys are still looking I think my frogspawn is the type your looking for. I can add a pic this afternoon if anyone is interested.

Why can't you frag it? If its getting too big and you want to sell some of it just cut it with a bandsaw, tile saw or rotary tool. Theres plenty of information online to guide you.

Here are the pics of mine but I am not sure if this is the right kind of frogspawn...

Also my lights don't turn on till this afternoon so these pics are in the dark sorry.

thanks, thats an excellent pic of what I'm looking for.

That is definitely not what I have... That looks cool though

This is the one they have at King Ed. They have lots of them. $49.99 each.
