I thought it would be interesting to see those zoa that you started with just a few polyps and have grown them out, and give us a little background. I was going to start the pictures myself but have had some technical delays. Maybee later. Here we go!
 
Heres my first zoos. Started with 10 or so about a year back and now have 100 or so.....

I posted this pic before but here's how all these zoas started. The Eagle Eyes and Bam Bams in the middle started as about 35 zoas and now have taken over the 2 middle rocks. The Zoas on the back wall, lower left, and upper left as well as the middle started as one colony of gorilla nipples that was about 200 polyps...randomly they'd drift and form new colonies elsewhere in the tank. The whiteish palys in the upper left next to the overflow started as about 6 polyps that were hitchiking on a piece of LR. Upper left oranges were about 7 polyps no over 20. Greens and reds in the sand bed are multiplying like crazy and the upper middle oranges w/yellow skirts and white mouths started as about 20 polyps and now there are about 75. I love zoas!!

Here are my dragon eyes. They hitchiked into our tank. Here's in August 2005:

And in May 2006:

I can't find the most recent pic. Since the pic in May '06, we have fragged a 50 polyp frag and 30 polyp frag. The colony has completely grown back in and easily has ~250 + polyps.

We recently set up a frag tank. It is currently cycling, but when it's ready, the dragon eyes will be getting fragged again. Along with the majority of the other corals in the tank.
 
Very nice to see the amount of growth. I have a small colony now that's been in my tank for about a month, and am excited for it to get a lot larger.
