So I absolutely love zoas, and I currently keep over 50 different varieties so i thought it was time to post a collection thread. I frag all of them as well so if you see any you like feel free to hit me up. Im also open to trades for any you dont see here!
Burning embers, by far the brightest...
Just moved some of my zoas from QT to DT, and they were doing great in the first couple of days. Yesterday I noticed that the zoas are not opening up and today I found that there are tiny white spots on them, I suspect those were sand grains because sometimes my sand got blown up by powerheads...
So I got 4 new zoa frags ordered from online and I noticed it looked a little weird think it might just be mad from not being in a tank for a while. So I acclimated them and dipped them and put them in my tank. It’s been 3 days and 3 of the 4 zoas show no signs of opening at all and look weird...
Hi guys! My name is Berg and I’m from Colorado. I am very new to reef tanks, The only reason was because I am working with a genus of freshwater goby (Stiphodon gobies) that mature in saltwater for a thesis paper. I set up a 1.5 gallon with live rock and sand and water from a friends mature...
Is this zoa being eaten by something? All the other zoas are doing well, both on the frag and in the tank. Its just this one polyp. Its been in the tank for around 2-3 months. they are loosing colour in the side where the "lashes" are retracted/gone. its been like this for 3/4 days and i think...
Somethings been growing in between and on the plug of my zoa for sometime now, i did a hydrogen dip two weeks ago and that barely seemed to help. Then a coral dip this week and nothing as well. Its almost translucent and looks like very mini tentacles, however it doesn't seem to move. Its grown...
Bought a WWC Zoa called ‘Red Bull’ - got them back ok Aug 12 and they looked great. Opened right up, consistently looked great. Placed them on my rock structure, and they seemed just fine for about 3 weeks. Several other Zoas on the same rock doing well and growing, but this frag is about...
New White Zombie frag from WWC in the tank (awesome coloring).
the past 24 hours I’ve noticed the disc will occasionally ‘bulge’ (best description of it) temporarily. It doesn’t last long enough for me to grab my phone and snap a picture - will try next time.
It bulges to twice it’s side, the...
I have two new zoanthids in there and im super excited these are my first corals! I am a little worried the chaos zoanthid looks like its coming off its rock piece a bit. I already glued the piece in place, do you think i should try removing it or leave it be and hope for the best?
Side note...
We obviously know of the notorious JF *** kraks, but out of sheer curiosity, what are some of the funniest Zoa names you’ve come across? Or, what do you think is one of the best named zoas :)
Has anyone had issues with zoanthids or Ricordea mushroom coral harming the lettuce sea slug ? Ours is only about half inch maybe 3/4” when roaming around. Worried about the size of the lettuce sea slug and the size of the mushroom or zoanthids possibly eating or shocking it.
I've got a larger colony of WWC Evil Heart zoas that I'm looking to thin down before they grow over the disc. The large frag/mini colony will be 20 polyps. Price is firm on this. Look anywhere for these and you'll know that's a steal if you can even find them. Shipping is $45 to the lower 48...
Hi everyone, I found these polyps sticking out of my rocks last night . Can’t tell if there zoas or palys. Also what breed would they be? Sorry for the bad pic there growing in an awkward spot lol.
Hi All
I’ve had this zoa in my tank for approx 3.5 months now in the same location. It was doing well and within the last week it has started to look like it’s receding. When closed up at night there are gaps in the flesh attached to the frag plug and now the polyps have gone an unusual shape...
