http://i50.*******.com/35hit8z.jpg.... My brother brought this home two days ago from our lfs. It was labeled frogspawn but ive never seen one like it before. The pic is cell quality so it does no justice ill post one tmw with my gf digital camera but it almost like a seafoam green tentacles with flourescent seafoam green " knots" all over them. It looks like octopus legs like it has inside out suction cups all over the tentacles. I searched all over the web and couldnt find anything like it so i turn now to rc im sure someone here can enlighten me

I forgot to include that the owner of the lfs said they are very hard to come by because its from the solomon islands

Yeah some people call it an octopus coral like pictured here (http://www.freeimageslive.co.uk/files/images002/frogspawn_green_branching_coral0690.JPG) but most people have what everyone think is the common frogspawn which has green tentacles with pink tips.

Heres a pic of my "octospawn". It is different from a average frogspawn. Its yaeyamanensis not divisa.

Yes. It's Euphyllia Yeayamansis aka Grape coral, Octopus frogspawn and it has a few other names as well. I've had it for almost a year now. It doesn't like a strong flow, rather a gentle one. Mine is always pretty happy and well inflated. I paid $30 for one head.
