Frogspawn?

[SeaBee]

I think this is a frogspawn coral. I noticed today a large area that looks like a blister down there. I will put up a few pics.

Here's another.

Anyone know if this is normal? Thank you.

 

[daugherty]

blisters down there are not good. j/k

i really dont know if that is good or bad but the frogspawn looks good maybe somebody else will know more

 

[SeaBee]

I think its the membrane that pulls the thing closed at night. Just all stretched out.

 

[daugherty]

more than likely it is just the meat of the coral i dont think you have anything to worry about but just keep an eye on it to make shure

Don't know which is worse a blister or a rash! :mrgreen:

 

[dcantucson]

I think I would try to remove it.

 

[daugherty]

i would rather have a rash than a blister at least a rash will go away

You guys are funny, We're off topic, lol.

 

[SeaBee]

I've had blisters and rashes, I'd rather have a blister...

I believe that's actually a hammer coral. Similar to a frogspawn though.

Looks fine, I wouldn't be worried

It's a hammer. Where a blister forms it's budding off to make a new head. It's how it grows.

In that case I'd not remove it! :shock: :bounce:

Biffy and Sniffles got it covered.
Thats THE only good blister you can get:D

 

[SeaBee]

I'm so cunfused. I need to hit it with a hammer??? LOL, j/k, it doesnt look like little hammers though.

So how big does it get? Does it grow a new skeleton? Will it stay on the current piece of rock? Sorry I know so little about these things.

 

[yote]

It'll grow a new branch where its splitting.It'll grow up and out and can get pretty big.

I`ve seen those on my frogspawn before. They usually just go away. I have no idea what they are.
