zoas and polyps are one in the same. most every coral has polyps.

zoas palys and protopalys are what look similar. these seem to be zoas

a coral dip such as coral rx, melafix, etc... is necessary. It rids (or almost completly rids) the coral of pests such as zoa eating nudis, flatworms, etc. its a preventative action

$40. for a colony that large isn't bad at all
I buy a a bunch of of large colony's but I also frag them up and sell/trade them for other zoa's
if I like a certain colony I will find a nice home in my tank for them
it all depends on how your tank is laid out
yes you got a nice deal
