frogspawn question...

[Tangboy]

I have a Frogspawn with 8 heads that originally started as 4. I pulled it off its rock that it was glued to so I could drimmel through the branched and make 4 branch frags.

The question is... as I was pulling the FS off the rock, two little "bubbles" dropped off into the sand. Its basically one of the green little bubbles you would see starting to bud off a tenticle before it became its own tenticle. Is this a form of reproduction, like hydra budding? I have two of them and I put them in a clear plastic container with small holes in them in the tank so I can monitor their progress but was wondering what exactly they are.

That is exactly what they are. Polyp bail out. If you can give them adequate flow without losing them and they get good lighting . . . . They can develop into their own colony. The chances are pretty slim, over the last 9 or so years I have had one make it.

Gotcha... I may have to toss them into my prop tank that has bits of LR rubble on the bottom and pretty decent flow... thanks for the reply!
