    My frogspawn is fully open today and super healthy, I fed him today too. Just a few minutes ago I saw a piece of what looked like one of it's sweeper tenticles detached from it and on the other side of the tank near my zoos. I immediately removed the piece, but why the heck was there a piece detached from the frogspawn? Does that normally happen?

    It may have gotten twisted in your flow or rubbed against something.

    I don't think so because the LR around it isn't without touching distance and my flow is low, which what frogspawns like, just enough to move the polyps, that's it. not strong enough to twist it right off.

    I thought polyp bailout is when the whole head come out of the skeleton and that's not what happened, just a piece of a sweeper tenticle got detached, so I don't think it's polyp bailout.
