zoanthus frag in sand

[divedeep1689]

hey i glued a zoanthus frag i made a to a rock but it came lose unlike my others and is like four or five polpys in the sand face up were it landed a month ago looks like it gained a polpy there my question is will zoanthus grow in sand and spread or does it have to be on a hard rock?

It might be OK but if you have any gobies or if sand should be thrown on it then it will irritate it.

so will it spread in the sand like start a colony there and no i have no gobies only thing that ever stirs up sand is a blue damsel but i want to know will it spread across the sand i think that would look neat i have been looking for a coral that would spread through the sand like a grass kinda

It probably will but not as much as if it was on rock.

Just lift it out of the sand and superglue to a rock or reefplug so that you will have more control of where it will grow.
