    Each head needs to be fed separately. Once the tissue splits, they don't share nutrients.

    They're sharing as long as the tissue is connected.

    You don't really need to feed them. If you want to feed them, for faster growth, you drop some mysis on the tentacles with a turkey baster. Make sure each head gets some.

    Mine is doing great after 3 months and I never directly feed it....I watch and it will capture food particals being circulated around it.

    I have 3 different types of frogspawns that I started out with as frags and they are hugh now (30-35+ large heads an lots of baby heads), I don't target feed them and I have to frag them every few months. They feed on whatever food/waste is in the water....one of my favorite corals.

    Another method is this; I blast mine with whatever I am feeding with an eye dopper (that is what I use to guage the amount) and will rotate heads every once or twice a week.
