I have a frog spawn with multiple heads/mouths. One really big one and several smaller. Do i need to feed all of them or just the main/biggest one? When I say feed i give it cut up krill. It's really neat to watch it pull it in.

I don't think you HAVE to feed any of them, although it doesn't hurt. I think they would grow faster, but its up to you.

I read somewhere that they all share nutrients with each other if they are connected. So I believe feeding one of the heads would be enough but i also agree that frogspawn doesn't really HAVE to be fed at all.

I know I don't HAVE to feed them, I just like to. I only do it once or twice a week. I was more curious about sharing with the other heads.

If it is a branching frogspawn you need to feed each branch. The polyps are not connected between branches. That's why it's so easy to frag them by cutting or breaking off the branches.
 
That said I never feed any of my Euphilia corals so if you're not feeding each branch they will be fine.
