Frogspawn

[Captinsmooth]

My frogspawn has the ends of of it splitting. Just curious if this is normal? An if so does any one know why it does it?

[CarmieJo]

I don't have an answer to the "why" but both of mind have done so.

[Captinsmooth]

Hmm....Well I guess that answer the normal question. I can't find anything online as to why they do it though. It just seems odd.

[CarmieJo]

Maybe increased tips means more opportunity to catch food.

recently I talked with my friend Anthony Calfo about this, that he described as polyp ejection (featuring the clear bubble that has developed on a few of my
frogspawn heads as they've split) as a "stress induced strategy of asexual reproduction."
