beautiful shot! great looking coral, I haven't seen any sweepers off mine yet. Anything close by that could be sending it bad signals?

Luckily there isn't much around except a couple shrooms. Reminds me of my cat when it's ready to pounce.

My froggys do that every-now-and-again ....I think they're saying "FEED ME SEYMOUR, FEED ME!"

It's actually been ID'd as a morph. Half frog, half hammer. I call it the froghammer. Yours, however, looks like a true frogspawn. And a beautiful one to boot!

You know, I've thought about doing this. Any negative effects from cutting the tentacle?

=( You really want to cut the poor little feller's tentacle off? How long have you had your morph? It is truly beautiful. =) When I first got my Hammer he was in a little bit of moderate to high flow. That sent out a couple of sweepers. I placed him lower in the tank, under a little less flow and I haven't seen any sweepers since. I don't like my Hammer's color. It's Pink. I ordered Teal! I was sooo mad. grrrr Here is my pink hammer. =/ This was when he was in higher flow, now he's lower and actually quite a bit more extended.

No, I really don't want too. I've heard of people doing this and was just wondering what would happen.
I've had it since January 2007. It is in moderate flow, but get's good polyp extension. Yours is lovely even if it's pink. The polyps look huge, almost like a bubble coral.

Froghammer? sweet! and thanks for the compliments !
My LPS always sends out these sweepers when I feed and occasionally at night. My frogspawn once sent out a huge sweeper, over 6 inches, and it got stuck on a ricordia. They tugged back and forth for a day. The amazing thing is the heads didn't pull back in on the frogspawn. I would say just leave it, but move anything sensitive out of the perimeter.
