Frogspawn reproduction

[Anonymous]

How long does it take for it to reproduce? I bought one and in shipment 3 of the heads died off. Will it come back? I'm assuming not but had to ask.

I still have 5 good heads on my specimen.

I've never had heads come back after they die. Best bet is to cut the dead heads off so that you can't tell anything has died.

What do I cut with?

wire cutters or surgical shears work well.

Hacksaws work too. I'd remove it so new heads can grow "naturally" in its place.

The old head will not grow back IME. but one the coral is happy it will grow and reproduce like a weed.

Just an idea on growth rate. I know every tank is different. I bought a branching colony with five polyps last march. The five heads have divided into about 13-15 and it is now starting to grow litlle polyps out the sides of the skeleton.
