Frog spawn questions

[cwickham]

Hey everyone, i got a frog spawn about a month ago, maybe a bit longer. Im trying to figure out if its healthy or not for its tentacles to be fully extended most of the time. the one side of it stays allot tighter, and the other side just expands like crazy.

is that normal? i think my flow is slightly less on the part that is expanding.

it seems to be healthy, one of the heads split since i got it.


thanks

There you have it. Flow. The retracted part obviously doesn't like the higher flow. Adjust flow, or move the coral to a place where there's less flow, and you'll see a change.

hmm, i agree.. but the part that is retracted is still not completly retracted, it looks nice, i wish the whole thing looked like that.. hahahaha the part that is extending is extending soo far that it looks clear. is that what its supposed to be?

Does that look healthy.. is that wat its supposed to do?
sorry for the dumb questions

[i have crabs]

looks like its producing alot of sweeper tentacles, i think its usally from too much flow but im no expert on them

The extended part is over extended. It's possibly waging war on something, but sometimes it's from too much flow. What other corals do you have in the tank? Which corals are within 10" of your Frogspawn?

only thing i have near it is my green brain, which the tenticles usualy r aimed at, haha and a pip organ... Would it be waging war on those?
