Who's got the biggest zoa colony?

Omg gorgeous!!

How fast did your colonies grow and how did you get the frag to a colony? Direct feeding? Flow? Placement?

Beautiful! I'm a sucker for actinic shots.

Sunny D's were about 10 polyps when I got them in March 2016. Now there must be 100. Definitely not the biggest around, but growing fast!

It depends on the type, some grow faster (Sunny Ds). I feed them directly by dropping pellets on them. LRS reef frenzy and mysis they catch when the fish are full. Low to medium flow and lower placement for some. I had some in the top 3rd of my tank in high flow and light and they did not do well.

But both the rastas and Armageddons started out with 5 polyps each and I would say it took about 2 years maybe to get where it's at now. I just glue square discs to an isolated rock and let them grow to colony size and I don't feed my corals, just my fish[emoji4] a lot! That colony is placed on the sand bed, where most my zoas are with medium flow

I find that starting with one polyp is perhaps the slowest possible way to grow anything. Even just having two polyps makes a big difference. For whatever reason, single polyp frags seem to just sit there forever and not sprout any babies. When you have a few more they tend to grow faster, in my experience. Once you find a happy spot for them, leave them alone! Zoas like detectable levels of nitrates in the tank.

Nice size and looks nice!

The really odd thing about it...theres a small clam (I think) right in the thick of it!

Thanks very much.

Im thinking about selling it, but I just know it's worth so much more if I frag it up.

Does make for a nice show piece in the middle of my tank mind

I have one of those too! Not sure what the actual name for it is?

It is a beautiful rock!
If you do frag, I would be interested! Are those Sunny D's I see down there?

No they're rainbow just not showing there they have a few different colours on and like gold yellow on lash

Well hopefully we'll find out what they are. I thought it was kind of strange because the zoas or the "clam" seem to care about each other. They get along perfectly.
