Fast5oranger Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I noticed one of these growing next to one of my ricordias about a week ago. I figured it was just another ricordia. Tonight I noticed another one growing in an entirely different part of my tank, so I started searching every square inch of rock to find on more in about two feet away from the second one. Three total as far as I know. The biggest one is about 3/8" across, the others are only about 1/4" across. They remind me of a baby torch or hammer, but I know thats not it... Any ideas???

mwheeler Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Looks like frogspawn to me you ever had any of that in your system if not how long have you had the rock because i know the spore can last a long time before maturing into something that you can see.

Fast5oranger Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've never had frogspawn before, and I've had the rock that it's on for about 10 months or maybe more. Is frogspawn an lps or a softie? It's weird how spread out it is too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwheeler Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Its an LPS and when it melts it releases spores i think is how it goes I have one that died about 5 months ago and now new heads are starting to grow again now that I uncovered the rock that it was on and its in the light again they are weird.

Fast5oranger Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 I've got about 15-20 of these things! Once they grow up a bit, I'm gonna have a "super cheap torch sale"! The coolest part (that you cant see in the picture) is that these torches are super neon green with very bright purple tips. Some of the nicest looking colors on a torch that I've seen! They're spreading faster than xenia lol. If you look closely there is another one poking out from under the zoas to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
