Just got my first zoa frag...

[~RuSh~]

It was kind of an impulse buy...

The zoas are orange in color.... not crazy bright like I have seen in some... will the color intensify if I provide a good environment for it?

Tank specs: 29g, 35lbs LR, 4x 24w Aquatic life fixture.

Any tips or pointers? Do I need to target feed them? What do you feed?

Nice, post a pic, the colors could intensify, but really hard to predict, just give them light and good water, they will grow

Thanks for the quick reply. How do I get them to spread to my LR? Just place the frag on the rock? Should I keep them on the bottom or closer to the top?

I'll get a pic up later tonight.

Alright, here's that pic.

Comments? Suggestions?

I would keep those on the lower 1/2 of your tank.

They will grow/spread to other rocks, if given the chance.

Nice pick up!

Thanks for the tip. Do I need to target feed zoas?

zoanthids- Proper lighting, good stable parameters, No predators/Fragging let them be and they should do well.

nice find. just prop them up on a rock and they will grow onto it provided crabs/snials dont knock it around. BTW you have 2 types there I see a green zoe towards the top left of the frag. They dont need feeding provided you have fish that poo in the water column.

Fish poop works great at feeding them. Enjoy!

Excellent. Thanks for the tips and feedback guys!

how much was that?

 

[~RuSh~]

20 bucks... ? Good deal?

That looks like a good deal; you got a decent amount of polyps for that price! Just think about it, you could have just as easily spent $20 on a single polyp and had just that one polyp too look at. They are very nice polyps as well.
