Wondering how you guys are gluing a single polyp? Are you making sure you get some rock underneath to glue too?

yeah, i try and chip off some off the rock/frag plug underneath the polyp so its disturbed as little as possible. i go through frag plugs like crazy but the survival rates are much higher than when i used to try and cut the polyps from the rock.

I didn't get a chance to read through yet, but what type of light/fixture are you using. The colors on your zoas are great!

Those are amazing!! What lights do you have them under? do you supplement/feed them anything? I am interested in creating a zoa tank, but not sure which ones i should start with. I have a few -- a couple have not grown much in the year that i have had them and some have totally flourished. Not sure what i am doing wrong.

thanks guys:)
the lights i use are aquaray aquabeams, i have white, blue and fiji blue strips but i turn the whites off for pics.

i supplement KH aminos and nyos coral nectar. i spot feed the larger palys some mysis and cyclops once a week (i find they are the only ones that actively respond to it). I also broadcast feed a mixture of homemade reef chilli at the same time for the benefit of the other zoas.
i don't get particularly good growth on most of my zoas and palys. a few grow fast, most are slow and steady, others are nearly dormant but have occasional growth spurts. i've had some go from 1 head to 50 in a year and some that stayed just 1 polyp in the same time. iv'e found relocating a inactive zoa can give it a lease of life, so can fragging it (although thats a bit hard if its just 1 polyp). you're probably not doing anything wrong, its just different zoas like different conditions.

some good starter zoas i would recommend would be: candy apples (red, orange, purple, green), hornets (red, blue, purple), sunny d, mohawks, people eaters
