Pretty sure I just killed my Frogspawn.

I was trying to remove it from a frag plug and it came off the plug cracked. In a panic I glued the sides back together (kind of like stitches) and glued it in the place I was going to place it. Is there any hope??? Anything I can do to increase its chances?

He is more extended than right after the trauma.

Thats crazy I tried the same excact thing today. Woke up this am and my hammer had a few heads with brown jelly disease. I tried to break off a head and cushed another head. I glued it back together well see what happens later. Im sick of brown jelly

Give it time. I have almost killed a huge hammer I have twice. It came back from looking FAR worse than yours.

Low flow helps as well

phillrodrigo · 04/26/2014, 03:56 PM

It looks like another head of mine is gonna go to brown jelly. I also bought a frag of yellow tenius from chriskid the other day. A few of the polyps of the hammer wrapped it self around the top of the yellow and killed the top were it was wrapped around it

Phil, you are having a rough patch!

JerSaint, yours might be ok. Give it some time.

triggreef · 04/26/2014, 05:58 PM

I might cut the top of the tenius where it got killed. Better off IMO it will heal faster and inspire more growth. They dont re grow over dead skeleton very well if it all.

triggreef · 04/26/2014, 06:01 PM

Phill is your temp been spiking? I just read a long article on that possibly being the cause and seeing more than usual around april and may, makes sense except that our tanks are generally kept much lower than natural.

Sorry for thread jacking
