What are your favorite Zoa combos. I am looking to set up a Zoa garden and I wanted to know what in your opinions are some of the best different Zoa combos between 2 or more different Zoas. Thank you!

I believe I saw on YouTube a video where a lady goes over how to place corals by colors. Which colors go together to create a pop of color and which colors not to place together because they wash each other out. I wish I had seen it before I created my zoa garden.
All you got to do is look at a color wheel and pick opposite colors and that seems to do it for me! I have a bad habit of deciding what color coral I would like at a spot and then trying to find a coral in that color that fits my tank scheme(mixed LPS heavy, lots of wiggly things) I think it works well for me. My colors are all over the place but I seem to have balance I think. The nice thing about Zoa is they come in every single color imaginable. Someday I will have a 10-20 gallon with just Zoa and let them all grow into each other. Be warned though. The stronger will eventually take over and change how you placed everything so plan accordingly. The Utters pretty much took over but I am ok with that cause they are an awesome night orangeI believe I saw on YouTube a video where a lady goes over how to place corals by colors.

Thanks for the compliment brother!! Yea I had to go back to my Kindergarten days and the color wheel and complementing and contrasting colors. It works though. Do it right and both colors will make each other pop like crazy or do it wrong and the will mute each other out.
Throw a bunch of frags in the sand. Zoa "garden"

Hello fellow Zoanthid lover! I really liked these two when grown next to each other. The pop-in contrasts are so nice since they're very similar to each other aside from the main coloration.
Left: LA Lakers. Right: Safecrackers
And here's some miscellanious Zoanthid Garden photos I've taken. The more different in coloration they look, the better! Also try to keep Zoanthids of similar sizes together. I believe they look better more uniform. Do note that these photos are of a frag tank system and most of these aren't super overgrown colonies.
And then an example of collecting similar typed morphs. Although a cool collection, they do look bland together.

Your garden still looks awesome!I believe I saw on YouTube a video where a lady goes over how to place corals by colors. Which colors go together to create a pop of color and which colors not to place together because they wash each other out. I wish I had seen it before I created my zoa garden.

Wow good inspiration ,
I "kind of" restart my tank some month ago.
Planing to do 90% zoa.
You guys are not afraid that some kind will grow/spread faster and vanish others ?
I was planing treat them almost like gsp...
let room between (8..10 ich) each one.
Or separate rock etc...

Some will absolutely grow/spread faster. Good to do your research before glueing down. For example, Pandoras and green palys can/will grow over/between your other zoas and smother them. I keep certain palys isolated on their own rocks.
