growing zoas

[gobytron]

I remember Charles Delbeek talking about how some of the most amazig zoanthid colonies were found in areas close to where raw sewage was being released into the oceans...

Generally, they do like "dirtier" water.

I have very mixed results with zoas too, agree with the poster who talks about how different habitats are found in nature...
the trouble is, its nearly impossible to replicate more than one biotope in the home aquarium.

Too bad you cant get more info on where each specimenoriginated from any of the LFS...I'm sure thats impossible but sure might make some of the trial and error easier.
