[ultreef]

Looking for a few heads of the octopus frogspawn. Let me know if you have some.

Here's a link to what it looks like

Not looking for the regular frogspawn, pictured in top left corner.

Thanks.

Looks like a regular frogspawn to me... is there something I am missing? Top left looks more like a hammer to me.


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.

If you want something slightly different Oceanic Corals has a beautiful orange frogspawn. It's a really unique colour.

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.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll actually be out there tomorrow.

If only they had the purple one that i've seen popping up in the states. That's UNIQUE.

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.
