New to the hobby, frogspawn question

jam583 · 04/13/2014, 07:22 PM

Hello,

I am relatively new to the hobby, with a 16 gallon nano reef. We are progressing, slowly over time, to a 100 gallon (building now). Currently, it's stocked with 2 clownfish, 3 snails, 4 hermit crabs, green star polypt, mushroom, and a frogspawn.

My question is about the wave movement of my frogspawn. It's on the bottom, but I want to ensure the movement is ok. Given it's a small tank, somewhat limited to how I can adjust the heads, etc.

You can see the movement in my video:

Looks good to me, maybe a hair more but I think it's fine.

If it is fully extended it's not too much. Mine actually has a bit more and is getting end heads.

During that video, it wasn't fully extended like I've seen in the past. I do have another question. Last night we got home late, around midnight. I peeked into the tank and one of the sides was all shut and shriveled up looking. The other one was smaller, like it generally is at night.

This morning, all fine. Normal activity for these things?

We had guests over and one flipped the light in the room, so it got light real quick.
