Yea I think they're called that too.

Tex, those are all good prices but I wouldnt pay 50-100 for zoa colonies just get a couple frags and glue them to a small rock and wait a few months and bam you have your $100 colony lol.

Wonder what he's asking for that acro colony? Probably $500...

On average how long does it normally take if water conditions are good for a colony of 10-20 to spread ?
Even just to spread off of the frag to other rocks ?
 
That seams to be a lot of new corals for a new tank .
I would hate to hear everything dying cause of it being so soon and immature of a system

p.s. thats not my tank. its the lrs tank :facepalm:

x2 on this, and do they spread uncontrollably? will they take over an entire rock and eventually the tank in time? :blink:
 
Well when conditions are good and stable I see them spread pretty quickly ive put a frag next to a rock so the polyps are touching it or another rock and have seen new little ones start to pop up on the rock after only a couple weeks. Sometimes its quick sometimes its slow.

I have seen one or two pop up in a totally random spot also maybe it blew over from the power head who knows?

Search for "zoa garden" in sw reef aquaria or member sw tanks and you can see some amazing ones and see what they do to get it that way.

awesome thread! mine is actually a 37g bow front.. and i hope mine grow that fast. i have a dual t5ho fixture on for 6-8hrs a day. hope thats the ticket!
 
Basically, look on line. The ones with major price tags are very slow growers and/or more finicky.
Some of those in the above first picture are the slower growers. the second picture are all common indo zoas that grow pretty fast. Notice the larger colonies V.S. the first pic.
 
**** I have a question reefs to go has a sale, spend a $1 get 20 polyps free is tgat legit?
