frogspawn

[zphreak]

29 gallon tank currently with:
Toadstool, finger leather, blastos
1 bi-color dottyback, 1 firefish, 1 fire shrimp, and 2 percula clowns
If I were to add a frogspawn, which of the corals can it be near? or should it be off to by itself? what new corals can I add next to it?

frogspawn has sweeper tentacles that can reach 7-8 inches beyond its base. they like medium light w medium to low flow.

It should be out of range of anything else other then like corals (Torch, frogspawn, hammer, maybe bubble) some can have sweepers that are 8 inches long. most are shorter then that, i'd just observe how far they reach before moving it closer to anything or moving something near it. Some, like the one i currently have don't engage other corals, get it's luck of the draw, but i haven't seen mine extend any sweepers yet, if it does my kenya is probably toast.

Exceptionally strong water movement induces the formation of sweeper tentacles keep your water flow gentle over them and I don’t think you will ever see a sweeper coming near eight inches

correct except the bubble coral and the frogspawn will damage each other. frogspawn can safely touch other euphyllia but contacting the Plerogyra sp. (bubble) will cause damage to one or the other.
