    Frogspawn with new heads

    I think that these are new heads of my frogspawn coral growing but i could not find any info on the internet about it. I have had the frogspawn for about 7 or 8 weeks now and it has 3 heads. But in the past 3 weeks or so these little mini heads keep popping up all over the place. In the picture you can see 4 but i have a total of 9 of them. 7 of them are on the fleshy part of the coral and two are on the skeleton. I just wanted to know if these are new heads and how fast they grow. The ones that popped up first are about 2x as large as the others. I just noticed the 2 on the skeleton of the coral today. About how long does it take them grow to the same size as the other heads?
    Thanks

    i have the same thing going on with my frogspawn. mine is massive though and theres maybe 40 or so little baby branches protruding from the "fleshy part". i havent noticed much growth in them, or at least very slow. i heard they start out growing slow and eventually build the calcarious skeleton and grow more rapidly over time considering the conditions of the water.

    Typically the larger heads will split and that is how your frogspawn will grow.
