Any Zoa Frags for sale?

[boodwah]

I have had my tank going for about four months now. Things have been stable for about 9 weeks now. I already have a mushroom, some yellow polyps someone gave me, some green star polyps another fellow gave me, and the tube corals are growing that came in on my live rock. I have one Ocellaris clown, two scooter blennnies, a velvet damsel, two dominoes, a coral banded shrimp, and a hermit crab/marguerita snail cleanup crew. And my live rock hitchhikers are two orange stars, a serpent star, a sally lightfoot crab, two very small furry crabs (not gorillas), tube corals, featherdusters, two clams, and various little barnacles. All of this is in a 90 gallon with a 27 gallon sump and about 135 lbs of live rock. I guess because most of my life in inverts my parameters stay pretty consistent. Nitrites are zero, nitrates are very low, ammonia is zero, salinity is 1.024, pH is 8.2, and I keep the temperature around 75. I have 350 watts of PC and T-5's. The only thing that has died on me was a lawnmower blenny. I don't know what happened to him, I have not seen him for a couple of weeks. The water never got cloudy nor did my params jump. Maybe he jumped, but I don't know where. I have looked all around the tank. Besides, there really isn't anywhere he could get out. Maybe a starfish got him, I don't know.
Am I ready for a few Zoanthids frags? I wanted to let you know what I had going on before anyone decided to sell me any. I don't want anything else to die on me so if you think my setup might not be ready I would like to know :eek1: The mushroom is the only coral I have bought. The others were either given to me or were hitchhikers on my live rock. But they are all doing very well. I might be interested in other frags that would do well in my setup. I just don't want to do too much too soon.

Unfortunately I'm not quite ready to frag anything (pretty new to this whole thing as well) but it sounds like, given your lighting and the success you've had so far, you could definitely handle some xenia, leather mushrooms, and/or some other softies. I had very good success with these in the first few months and all I really had to do was keep up with water changes. On another note, it sounds like you got some really good live rock with a lot of life to it... where'd you get it?

I've got a few frags of zoas left (orange centered and pink centered) and some brown pipe organ pieces. I had some of the pics posted in a previous thread. Let me see if I can get some updated pics. All of my zoas went into the 10 yesterday (ravenous rabbitfish-time for some hossenpheffer), so they are kinda crowded. If you've got inverts doing well, you should have absolutely no problems with zoas, etc. They are weeds, like start polyps, xenia, etc.

It sounds like your ready for some softies to me.
I've got some Purple mushrooms, Xenia, Eagle eye Zoos, and Ricordia's whenever you're ready.

DMBillies, I got my rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater. They ship it via air freight so it takes 2 hours rather than overnight. Plus they ship it in water, with little to no die-off.

You all will be getting PM's about some of your frags. It sounds like you all have some interesting stuff.

Here are some of what I know I've got... All pics are taken under 50/50 Odyssea and Actinic Odyssea PC bulbs (65W) (frag tank).

Orange centered zoas

Reds with blue ring(in center), and at least one Mean Green left (my colonies got eaten...). The MG is to the far left of shot.

I can make some of the pink centered (just to the right of center) and the bright green starred (lower left hand of shot).

Thanks to Gflat and Mobikob, the frags are awesome and all of them have opened up and appear to be very happy. I can't believe it but all of the zoas opened within 5 minutes of being placed in the tank. Nice frags guys.
