zoa growth

[paul87]

Just got my radioactive dragon eye frag glued to a rock and placed my bam bam zoas in a nook the other day. Just wondering how to make these guys spread or if I can help them in any way. I love these zoas. Plan to get a few more types. Any comments or tips much appreciated or maybe another spectacular looking type i should look into.
Here's some pics of them now.

Wow love them!!

I think you shoudl do sorta what im doin. Take alot of smaller zoa frags and add them to the same general area. When they grow, they will all grow together an like, blend!! Haha

 

[paul87]

Thanks. Yea well hopefully I will have a mat of them! There is actually about 5 heads on the bam bam rock that I don't know what kind they are. Same size and yellow and not very florescent at all. You should let me see a pic of what u have going on with yours.

Nice looking and great idea with putting them all together. I'm hoping to achieve the same as the both of you in my 8g.

SWEET zoas Con. I really wish i could find the BEFORE and AFTER photos on a different forum using this idea. The rock basically looked like a blended rainbow after a year.,beautiful.

Suggestion, space them all out another couple inches from eachother and make sure they are all surrounded by rock for growing purposes

I would but i still need more!! Haha i only have 3 types and 2 are semi colonys so they are too big errrhhhh.

I used to have 4 types...but Kobe the engineer goby decided to bury one lololol

Yea I need more too. I plan on getting a couple different frags of them soon. Only 2 now with the mystery yellow ones. And I got like 5 yellow polyps too. My Duncan is doing great and growing fast! I can't wait till my zoas do the same

Here's my week old frags from a 20 head colony I bought a few months ago.. gonna leave a few in my tank getting rid of the rest (theres yours in the back Adam ....)

How can you help them grow faster? Ive placed mine in a shaded area and they pull towards the light. They end up multiplying. Not sure if this helps grow them faster or not.

Every colony seems to have different needs. It's really hit or miss on placement but in general I've seen best results in medium light.medium/low flow

Those ate Zoas also....mine extend long at times...usually when the dragons breath is in the way of the light shining on them...it's like they are stretching for sunlight.

Try to put them closer to the top and see if they shrink back in...ether way it won't hurt them.
