Default Frogspawn and Clowns

I have a HUGE frogspawn - approx size of a volleyball, it was just starting to fill up this morning and I was able to count 7 mouths on it but I'm sure there are a few more. I've been debating fragging it, not sure how as it is not a branching type, more in a hard shell shaped like an "H". Its been in the same spot in the tank since I got it in August, but it looks like its going to get tangled in my powerhead if it grows anymore and I really don't have another suitable place for it. Any suggestions on fragging it or how to?

I just added in a couple of clowns (sebae) on Sunday and last night when I fed the fish, they would grab some shrimp, then take it to the frog and feed it. Was so freakin cool. I may have slightly overfed simply because they kept taking it food and I had to show everyone.. I guess they've decided to host it, they don't go in it, but all around and behind.

Ive had clowns live in a branching frogspawn and a touch in the past.
They killed the torch after about 6 months, then moved to the frogspawn, they never really touched it, but shortly after they ended up having black dots.
This happens i learned from some corals they host, it doesn't seem to affect the clowns, and the frogspawn lived a happy life till i got a large carpet nem.
They now reside in reddeer.

Kewl to see them feeding eh, this is normal behavior for the clowns, if you frogspawn eats it, it will grow very large very fast.

I've only ever directly feed the frog once, otherwise figured it just grabs whatever is floating by. I'm sure its doubled in size since I got it. Have pics from when I first got it and I think I have updated pics from a week or so. Will post later.

It was cool to see them feed it. I'll have to figure something out with its location otherwise it will end up in the powerhead.

My bicolor blenny seems confused about what type of fish he is, the clowns and the cardinal all hang out in the one corner of the tank, so the blenny will come out and swim in the same direction as the other three, not for long, but does it quite a bit.

Perhaps you need to trade for a smaller one

Trading is an option...but I haven't seen another one like this, it has multiple tips on each tentacle, not just one white/pink tip. I'd love to keep it if its fragable, keep one for me and sell trade the other three bits. Will get pics up soon.
