Extremely Invasive

[The Beaut]

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem. I had to remove these Zoas. No matter where or what Zoas/Palys are next to them, they just take over.

Which color takes over? Nice looking colony!

 

[The Beaut]

I've got some little creatures that can help you with that problem.

I have that exact color combinations and they do grow very well.
And when I move them they seem to leave new starts behind.

Nice, how long have you had them?

 

[jamielind]

i have the same colors too. the ones with the red skirts over grow both of the others. and the green ones grow super slow for me. i think its best to keep them on their own rock or at least with another that grows at the same speed.

For me there is no dif in color, the speed of growth is the same. I also have the same problem, when I moved them and left a little piece behind, a week later there would be a few whole polyps. They are very nice looking but I have some other colonies I cherish more. I had to give them away, i was fighting a losing battle with them.

They're beutiful zoas. The way I've fixed my problem is to move the individual colored colonies to other rocks. I accomplished that with an exacto knife and tweezers. Good luck!! I'd hate to lose any of those to overgrowth.
