Lesson learned, zoas are pretty but the get their own island.
I have an sb reef light basic 16" I run 35%ish whites and 50%ish blues for about 8 hours a day. No ramping. Medium flow 1/2 way up my rock. I have 2 of the sun sun powerheads off Amazon, I have backups so when they break I will use the backups and order better ones for replacing the backups. But they work! One pointed at the surface and one pointed toward the back. There's a whole tank pic. I use IO reef crystals and do a 4 gallon weekly water change on a 39 gallon tank. My ato has 1tsp of Kalkwasser powder per gallon.I have tried zooanthids and they don't seem to flourish very well for me. What type of lighting and schedule do you run your lights on a regular basis? What is the water flow like where the zooanthids are located?
@Tahoe61, if you can tell me how I can get them off the rock without having to remove the entire structure, I'll ship some to you
Is that 1 solid rock or multiples glued together. If it's 1 rock that is pretty cool & I would love to have something like that for my tank.I have an sb reef light basic 16" I run 35%ish whites and 50%ish blues for about 8 hours a day. No ramping.

It is 5 rocks glued together we put it together ourselves though. You could do something like it very easily.Is that 1 solid rock or multiples glued together. If it's 1 rock that is pretty cool & I would love to have something like that for my tank.
I ripped some back from where I don't want them. I think I am going to glue a sea shell barrier in place and when they grow up the shells, just cut them and replace the shells.I've seen where some people have used ice cubes to make anemones move, you could try that. if it works i'll take some off your hands.
Nice job, I'm still working on my artistic eye for this kind of stuff. LOLIt is 5 rocks glued together we put it together ourselves though. You could do something like it very easily.
Rule of 3rds! Use triangles and odd numbers. 3,5,7,9... nature usually does it too. Nothing linear. Nothing perfectly horizontal or vertical.Nice job, I'm still working on my artistic eye for this kind of stuff. LOL
I've ripped a few heads off now and had no adverse effects on the tank thus far. I don't think I'll be doing more than a few at a time though. I think it's the zooanthelle coming out. Not 100% sure though.I’m in the same boat. I have a weed like colony of zoas I’m trying to get rid of. They are and have covered other corals in my tank to the point where I think they’ve killed them. Tonight I started ripping 3-4 heads off with tweezers. I noticed some fluid bleed out in the water so I stopped.
Not realy sure what kind mine are but lesson learned no more zoas for me!
I'll Have to think on that some. I plan on getting some more rock for the tank, would like to get some True Live rock but to expensive to buy & ship, LFS in my area don't carry it anymore so not sure what I'll do. have Real Reef & Life Rock in it now but I can't seem to get any algae to grow anywhere.Rule of 3rds!
