PLEASE PITCH IN! Individual Morph Zoa Care Guide!

[Oscaror]

I'm thinking, people say that zoas/palys are easy to care for, they just need medium light, medium-low flow, and they should grow and thrive.
That is for sure, NOT the case.
Those rules apply to eagle eyes, dragon eyes, radio active dragon eyes, lots of eyes, but when you get into the higher end polyps it gets more complicated.
So I want to start a list of different zoa morphs, with their different care requirements, from what people have experienced with them. This is not like the zoa ID database, this is also about care requirements.
I need people to help out though, here's what I need:

A picture of the zoa/paly
Name:
Hardiness (Melter-Finicky-Hardy-Very Hardy):
Lighting (Low-Medium-High-Adaptable):
Flow (Weak-Moderate-Strong-Adaptable):
Growth Speed (An estimation of polyps per month based off a 1-5 polyp frag, or if not 1-5 polyps then say the amount of polyps):
(Optional) Tolerance To Fragging:

Here's a list that I'll update of what zoa morphs have been posted:

K fine I'll give you a break, not selling zoas is really hard work after all.

Name: utter chaos palythoa
Hardiness: Can be finicky, known to melt if comditions not right. Similar to cousin darth maul
Lighting: Adaptable--tends to morph on me under high light but can return to normal but putting low for a few weeks
Flow: Medium
Growth Speed: when happy, a couple polyps per month

 

[heathd.hd]

My utters seem to like more flow Than some of my other Z's n P's. Just my experience

Great Thread.

My utter chaos paly has been doing great in medium flow, I'm sure both opinions are right.

 

[heathd.hd]

Ok so I guess I have do describe my definition of higher flow....

My utters seem to be happier in more flow Than most my other Z's n P's. So idk if that's med or high. It's definitely not sps high but I think you get what I mean now. High for pallies.

A Piece that Size gives you 7 or 8 Polyps a Month?

Or do you have a massive mother colony that gets you 7 or 8 polyps a month?

I guess what I am saying is how many polyps do you need in order to get 7 or 8 polyps a month?

Because I sure don't get that but I don't have big colonies. Just a Few Frags.

Honestly they grow the best right after I cut them. I have a mini colony of about 30. I halve them every 2 months and sell 15 of them. The other half I keep and they double in size in about 2 months. This frag grew a lil slower but I only started with 5 polyps not 15. Besides my pink kraks sunny d's are the fastest growers in my tank.

Due to all the different experiences people have, you can post acre info on a zoa even if it's been done.

So true, building a database with user experience as comments would be a great idea and too ambitious seems like. I've had sunny ds completely melt on me from a 30 polyp healthy colony. I changed something, not sure what. Everybody who collects i think has some degree of melting experience. And the only products out there for zoa health that i know of are furan and lugols. Maybe vitamin c, i don't know.
