It could benefit from spot feeding of zooplankton and phytoplankton, or cyclop-eeze, but I found that good lighting is the best thing for it, more so than spot feeding.
My first frogspawn head was in a 12g nano for 6 months with 36w PC light. I spot fed it once a week. It didn't grow at all. After my first tank upgrade it went into a 55g with 260w PC light. I stopped spot feeding and just put the phyto/zoo in the water once a week and once every couple days I sprinkled in some cyclop-eeze.... I figured this fed all my coral instead of just the frogspawn. After 6 months in that tank it split into 3 heads and had another little head growing out of the base.

Greetings
I bought my first Frogspawn coral last Saturday. It didn't look too impressive in the tank at the LFS (nothing much does), but I hope it will improve nicely in mine. At one point the piece looks like it had 4 heads, but it now has 3 that are alive, each roughly the size of a quarter (although one is clearly less likely to make it...).
After the first 24 hours, it started to open, but then one of my hermit crabs knocked it to the sand and angered it, so it was just starting to re-open yesterday. I'll be curious to see what it looks like when I get home from work today.
