This is what I was told was a Frogspawn when I bought it. It has done great in my tank. It went from one branch to six or so.

At least I was told it was a frogspawn. I'll upload a picture later. I could have been told one thing and it was something else. It started with one branch and now it has at least six. That is over a three year period.

My 55g has white star polyps, neon green striped mushrooms, colt coral, yellow-brown zoos, hairy mushroom, some other brown/green mushroom & Frogspawn. I have 3 NO 40 watts and 1 NO 30 watt bulbs.

My Colt Coral is fragging all by itself. Have any of you had this happen this easily? I have two pieces about the size of a finger nail that attached to the shell of a Scarlet Crab. It looks cool but when the frags grow the scarlet will have to find another home. A few others attached here and...

A buffer would not help. It would probably make it worse. Test your water chage water. If is of a lower PH. Begin frequent small water changes until the pH comes down.

I would suggest a water change. I wish I had your problem. I can't keep my PH above 8.0
