frogspawn won't come out

[krazykrakr2186]

I have recently added a small frogspawn but it hasn't come out for some time.
When i first added it, it would come out at night but it hasn't even been doing that lately. I've been doing bi weekly PWC's and water levels have tested good.
any ideas?

waht kind of light and flow is it getting. They like moderate flow and light. What fish do you have in the tank and so you have peppermint shrimp sometimes these animals will nip at it.

I hate to be a "negative Nancy" but your frogspawn looks dead. Is it?

Yeah... It looks nothing but a dead coral skeleton...

I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I keep mine upright and in a position to keep the tentacles clear of surrounding irritants.

You're a surrounding irritant! LOL JK :D

as far a lighting I've got a metal halide w/ actinics and flow is quite good. as far as it being alive it looks like this pretty much all day but at night it come out a little bit. so I would assume that it's not completely dead yet...
and I've got a cleaner shrimp, Koran angel, blue diamond goby, and a starry blennie in the tank.

My duncan wouldnt open for the longest time. Then I recently got rid of my PB tang and now its back open...

It doesn't look healthy at all. I would take it out and dip it in something like Coral Rx.

i would bet the angel is picking on it during the day.

What other corals do you have in the tank?
Frogspawn do not like a lot of flow, hide it behind a rock structure.
Frogspawn is usualy safe from most angels but I have had to get rid of one because he picked on mine.
With angels you are safe with most softies and SPS, LPS are normally picked on by large angels.

Could also be a lighting issue compiled with stress - the fact that it didn't come out unless the tank was dark in the begining is an indication of light issues. The coral may not have been healty to begin with...course it probably looked fine when you purchased it right?

[krazykrakr2186]

Yea it looked good to me when i got it... I'm gonna try moving it away from some of the current and a lil lower in the tank away from the lighting. right now its up top, may be too much.....? The only other corals i have are a couple of kenya trees and a very small frag of some green star polyps.

I keep my like corals in the sand on the bottom. I have a biocube, so there is like 22" between the power compacts and the sandbed. I have a moderate amount of flow for my tank, basically gently whooshing the tentacles around (Hydor flo deflector). Mine seems to be doing brilliantly. You can try to target feed the coral. It might like that. Alternatively, you could trade him to someone to see if they can't get him healthy for ya.

[krazykrakr2186]

that would be an idea if someone would be willing to do so.... I'm still new to the corals n such. i've read that the frogspawn were relatively easy to keep unless i got one that wasnt doing so well....
