Keeping zoas

[Mixreef1]

Hello friends,

What do you guys dose to keep zoas nice and fluffy. I'm some what new and have started collecting a few recently but they dont seem big and fluffy like what I saw online

Thank you

Get your water parameters to match mine, for a start, and make them stay there, which they will do, once achieved, so long as the magnesium stays above 1200. Decent but not too strong lighting. And beware the really large fluffy ones, which may be toxic palythoas. Look those up and also ask your dealer. Be sure what you acquire are really zoas. Also limit your number of snails, which are good at shoving frags around. Microhermits are much ore polite.

I've never heard of dosing for Zoas.

really old post but magnesium by far has had the greatest impact on my corals.

oh man, it's true on the snails but I have had even worse luck with crabs.
