Just thought I would share my joy about now working on twins.  My branching green hammer is splitting and I noticed yesterday that you can finally see two mouths on it.  That and I have 4 small buds growing on it too.  Now, since this is only really exciting to me please go back to whatever it was you were doing that was more important.

Double green.  Green stems, and brighter (more yellow) green tips.

Shane, What do you target feed your frogspawn?  I haven't been able to get mine to take anything.  Most things it just casts off after 5 minutes or so.

I still have some of the food left over from the feeding meeting that I squirt over them, but what my frogspawn really likes is zooplankton. Plus whatever he catches in my daily feedings. He tends to catch quite a bit of brine shrimp. I know he eats well because he does his little "excrement" at least every other day.

What and how often does everyone target feed their lps corals 

 I haven't fed my hammer at all really, and only occasionally my candy coral--both are growing well.  Just curious to see if I could get mine to grow better and faster.

I have a modern brain that eats whole silversides. It takes it awhile, but he will ingest a whole fish. I also target feed my candy coral with slices of silversides when I think about it. They are also slow eaters. If you feed after lights out, the fish are less aggressive and often leave the food alone. I have tried to feed my torch coral, but mostly it just catches whatever I feed the fish. He happens to be located right below where I feed, so he gets a lot of food by default!

I target feed my Flower Anemone and my LTA using whatever I'm feeding that day, Homemade food, Silversides, Brine, Cyclopeze, Etc.  I also target feed my Sunpolyps either brine or cyclopeze.

I have also tried to target feed my Blastomosa, Hammer, and Frogspawn, but I've never been sure that they are taking it.  At first I tried feeding my frogspawn small pieces of silversides, but they would move them away from thier mouthes until they just floated from their tips.  I believe that do take some cyclopeze, but It's so small I can't be sure.

Everything in my tank seems to love cyclopeze, even the Dendronephthya so I figure the Hammer and the Frogspawn probable like it too.  I hope.
