growing zoas

[JohnnyReeftank]

Hey Jex.....I was in the same boat as you about 10 months ago when I got into the hobby and I just went for it and started buying $10 frags of various Zoa's. I've got about 20-30 different kinds now and its pretty much hit and miss. I've had some colonies melt away while sitting right beside another colony that is thriving and showing no signs of stress. I have noticed that most prefer a bit of shade and I've had better success with polyps that are more vertical on the rock and not horizontal (but who knows).....my advice is to try a couple frags and see how they do.
