[james larocque]

ok guys and girls. the guy at the lfs gave me a free frag of frogspawn and told me to feed it marine snow. is there anything else i nee to know about this coral?

 

[meowzer]

YEAH...you don't need to feed it marine snow

 

[james larocque]

so do i need to start putting reef supplenments into my tank?

I have a frag of frogspawn too. Mine is happier than ever with just the correct amount of lighting and the addition of trace elements every two weeks. Sometimes if it has its feeder tentacles extended i will feed it a mysis shrimp or two. I'm sure supplements help, but are surely not necessary IMO.

Until you have a very heavily stocked tank regular water changes will take care of everything. What kind of lighting do you have?

NO....NEVER add what you do not test for....I found this out the expensive way...LOL...I had bought gallons of additives, and I still have them
 
If you do regular water changes, the salt should have everything you need...
 
and as GIO said...good lighting, and good water quality will be enough
 
I do not feed mine, and it is growing like a monster
