    How long has it been like this. They can do this for a couple days then come out of it just fine.

    Seeing how well the others are doing, it's almost certainly something local, like parasite or disease that has only infected the one head so far, or perhaps it's being damaged by water flow- iow, if a powerhead is blowing directly on it- Frogspawn can't tolerate too much current because of their skeletal structure.

    Is the tissue visibly receding? And did anything bump into it, even just your hand barely touching it?
