Operation save the pink frogspawn

At the local death trap (LFS) i saw a pink frogspawn that had 2 main heads, but each head was spitting into thirds (so it would be 6 heads)...
Polyps on 1 main stalk were only out alittle bit, and the polyps on the 2nd heard were pretty retracted and showing some skeleton...
I decided to buy it hoping i could bring back the 2nd head.. and i think the 1st head will be fine..
Does anyone have any tips on giving this guy special attention? I just spot fed it a mix of zooplankton, mysis shrimp, and cyclop eze.. It defintently grabbed some of it and i assume ate.
I hope i can bring this thing back to good health... if not i figure i at least save half of it.

hmmm
with my frogspawn i dont ever spot feed it but i have maybe a dozen times in the last 9 months sometimes it grabs the food sometimes not thats why i stopped spot feedin it...
but given the right water conditions and lighting it should bounce back

sorry for the bad pic... you can tell the left head even though small has many polyps and i think i can at least save this half.
check out the right head.. the splitting head on the top right has some serious skeleton showing but there are still SOME polyps there... any chance of bringing this thing back or should i start fragging it up to save what i can?
What do you guys think?

IMO, when you are "saving" things from the LFS, you are incenting them to replace it with another one from the wild that it may kill off. Just a thought.
