Hey reefers. Can anyone with experience tell me the expected growth rate of the following zoa (im getting or already have these, I’ll have them all after tiesday and I’m trying to figure out what to put where in gardens):

Fruit loops-taking off for me so far (have like 30 polyps)
White zombies-slow as Christmas for me
Fire and ice-my colony is massive (started at 2 polyps
Radioactive dragonseye
Vamps in drag
Purple monsters
Blue/purple hornets
Goblins on fire
Rasta
Bam bams
Utter chaos
GB packers
Paly grandis (not sure the color they’ve been with me a week and are still ghost white).

I’m attaching photos of what I have currently. I’m picking up the goblins,Rasta, and bam bams in the next few days.

PS: shout out to reefgal for all the help.

They’re all relatively fast growers except the white zombies, and blue hornets those for me are slow as well... the purple monsters are medium growers for me and so are the vamps in drag... everything else is a fast grower
Thank you! I was worried about the monsters overtaking the hornets because they’re a combo frag. The zombies have spawned one tiny polyp in the month ish that I’ve had them.

Utter choas decent grower once the colony gets bigger thier growth rate increases.

Rastas a slow growers.

Fire and ice fast

Dragon eyes are as fast as fire and ice

Any colony with decent size will pick up in growth rate.

You’re welcome, it’s on a tank by tank basis as you can see for some people Rastas grow medium or slow but for me they’re fast, but I would split the hornets and purple monsters up just because hornets are slower growers

So I ended up splitting that frag. The monsters are going crazy. Those white zombies melted. I got two more heads from a local reefer and they’ve grown 6 heads in a month lol. Go figure.
