Frogspawn growing flat?

lewisrhoades · 12/13/2016, 02:41 PM

Hey everyone, I have a question about my frogspawn. I have a 60g cube with a Hydra 26HD over it. It's sparsely populated with coral, just a hammer, duncan, acan, a purple stylo, and the frogspawn. I have the frogspawn about midlevel in my tank but it is not growing out and bushy like most frogspawn do. This one is instead growing like the bonsai LPS trees I've seen people post. I assume I have enough light because my other coral are not stretching at all. Is it possible too much flow is causing it to grow this way? Any help is appreciated.

Maybe too much light? My frogspawn wants to be on the sand bed. It doesn't like being any higher in the tank. Just a guess.

Totally forgot I posted this question. It's still doing it but not as bad. I am just wondering why it isn't bushy like every other frogspawn I've ever seen.

Here's one

That's the problem, it looked like the pic above when i first bought it. I made a post asking if there were hammer/frogspawn hybrids because it's tips were forming hammers after a few weeks. It went from bushy with thousands of tips to what you currently see.

Here's the other side where some of the frogspawn characteristics are still present.

Anything is possible but it looks plenty happy, growth looks normal to me.

I just wish it would grow more bushy than it is. I already have two hammers so having a third large euphyllia that is flat kind of irks me.
