What can I do to promote reproduction of my Zoos ?

[Aseidman]

I have recently purchased a number of very nice Zoanthid frags.

I have them in a mature (2yrs) 30 gallon x-high tank with 150 watts of MH (HQI). Thay are between the middle and bottom third if the tank (18-20 inches down from the top).

I feed my tank with DT's Photoplankton and Cyclopeze.

What else can I do to promote reproduction, specifically of my zoanthid populations ?

Thanks,
Allen

Raising them up a bit and having a good flow over them generally will lead to more growth of most.

Get an Alk. test kit and Dont touch em.

don't stare at them they won't do it infront of you

they are shy

maybe some barry white and candles?

I second the idea of not touching them. Mine close up if I stare at them too hard.

If they are wild it may take a while...if they are tank bred they may take right off.

Takes about 6-8 months for the wild ones to really take off.
