My tank is pretty slow, but it all depends on if the frag has found it's place. Once a colony is set I have seen 3-5 polyps a month. I also have zoas that no matter what, they will put out a polyp once a month, at most!

These guys 1 polyp a month:

These guys 3-6 polyps a month:

Lets see, from this in oct last year

To this last week. Keep in mind these have been fragged a ton of times before. I have actually yanked of a ton of polyps tearing them apart to keep them off of my acros!

In the last picture, I have actually given away the original frag about two months before this was taken!

you guys are too funny! Actually, I removed a larges rock that had a ton of em on it the day before yesterday. I threw them into the sump. Last night I scraped every polyp off of the rock and glued them to frag plugs/disks/rubble, and whatever else was laying around. I think I had about ten good frags. I know some of my club members who don't have them, will next meeting :)

From now on, I will be a kinder gentler zoa keeper :lol:
