Is it in an area of high flow? If so, move it to an area of lower flow.

couple questions.
are the frogspawn new to your tank? what lighting do you have? how much flow are they under? have they been getting worse since you had them, or are any of the tentacles coming off? Jason

Test your water of course, when in doubt do a 10% water change. Are there other LPS corals in the tank? How are they doing? My FS is a little sensitive and will close up or start to emit mucous if it gets bothered. Strangley two Sexy shrimp have started to take up permanent residence on my FS and it has never looked better.

sometimes frogspawn just need a week or so before they get used to your tank. if there new to your tank then i suspect that is the problem.
