Pssshbtt candy apple reds are good enough. Those are some nice pick ups though, been looking for some yodas.

I added something new to the format, tolerance to fragging. It's optional since not everyone frags enough to get a good idea of a zoas consistent response to fragging.

Could you edit it so it matches the format? Thanks for the help!
Great picture too!

No need for that, I'm in Canada and I'm going to assume you're in the US.

I'm REALLY requesting someone to post care info on the untouchable paly (just got one and want to know what conditions it likes best) @joshporksandwic I know you have it! (Your break is over)

Is that the same as the unobtainable paly?

Cool thread - but like jps said on the SM every tank is different. None of my buds can keep SM for some reason? And they grow like eagle eyes for me.
Than you have things like fruit loops, clementines which here are hardy for their poster and melters fo me

Maybe in the end something else cool will show (upon double submissions for a morph with different placement and result) a similarity with the success and demise.

I don't know what the unobtainable paly is, but here's the picture on the site where I got the untouchable:

Magician palys HATE ME! I don't know why, they do good in everyone else's tanks! My JF Crazy lady's doing good though, which I like more than magicians.

I think I'll just post info on it, I'll just see how it grows and then I'll have all the info I need.
So far I know it likes low light, low flow, and is hardy. A zoa that's nice AND hardy?! Now I've seen everything.

Flow: medium
Hardiness: very hardy
Growth: about 2 polyp a month on the frag shown (about 6p)
Fragging: frags very well

I don't know enough to post em, but my experience with most of the maul morphs is keep em medium to low light. Guess its not true for the nightmares above though...

All the nice corals are in the US, and it's REALLY hard to get them over the border, we only get really common morphs, and what you americans consider uncommon, we consider ultra rare. Whenever I see WWC and Cherry Corals live sales I cry a little.
SO MANY CHALICES.
