    I have an opportunity to get some of these very cheap. Should I get both or just one over the other? Just wanted some opinions. Thanks

    If they both are within your price range and you like them both, get both. As long as it wouldn't interfere with any other coral that you might want to purchase down the road(tank size)

    Otherwise Id Say Frogspawn :)

    They're both Euphyllia sp. So, they are very close cousins, care and so forth will be almost idential... If you have room an like them why not go with both. if you don't, then pick whichever one you like better LOL.

    Both of these corals grow pretty fast, my frogspawn heads split every month. And at the same time they are getting bigger. So really, as long as you have the room for them and the money and you like the look, go for it.

    I have both about 8" apart. Get both they are easily cared for and grow fast. Fragging is easy and they get along with each other. Also they look awesome glowing under moonlights at night.;)

    Well I got them both. Along with a couple amazing zoas. A watermelon and eagle eyes.. Frogspawn is looking awesome and the hammer seems to be taking it's time expanding.
