I have one identical... but much much deeper red.

Very nice piece. Mine went through some sort of decline recently and I lost about 8 heads.

What i'm looking for is the one with multiple tips per tentacle/sweeper. What i consider the regular one is the more common single tip, sometimes more but mostly single tip. Some what like a torch.

Yea thats the first time I heard the name octopus frog.... just a regular old frogspawn to me!! LOL! At least thats all we call them here. I have never seen a frogspawn with "single tips". A hammer has single tips... like in your photo... as does torch.

You should have no issues finding someone with one in your area. Very common.

Appears "Octopus" is just another name for the "regular" frogspawn.

Really? It is hard to find? Any shop in town carries them... in a variety of colors.

Not the same corals buddy, same family but not exactly the same coral. I have both and these two are definitely not the same.

I believe there are 2 types. I have one just like yvr75 on the bottom pic and it is a wall type of skeleton with bigger tips. I think the pic on top is a branching type. Too bad I can't frag mine, otherwise I'd ve sold you some as it is getting too big for my tank.

Here are the pics of mine but I am not sure if this is the right kind of frogspawn...

Also my lights don't turn on till this afternoon so these pics are in the dark sorry.
