    My frogspawn has two stalks one side is perfect looking . The other stalk has retracted and looks like it is dying. Is there something I should do? Maybe move the coral higher or lower in the tank . The frogspawn sits under mh lights midway in the tank

    im no expert on frogspawns but first how long have you had it in your tank?

    they require medium lighting and should be placed in a low current area. what is the depth of your tank?

    I think frogswans are known for sometimes losing a branch. something may have nipped at it or maybe brown jelly disease but thats premature as there is no picture i can look at.
