    I'm not sure I understand "secession off head"
    Frogspawn will shed polyps when not doing well. That will release the "head" and it becomes free floating in the water. I have not ever been able to keep these free floaters alive.
    If this is what is happening that is not a good sign. Could be flow, water quality, lighting or lack of food
