Duo zoas island?

[The Deaf Reefer]

Hi

I'm a new reefer with a IM 15g cube. I'm currently doing rock scape for the tank and was thinking about the corals and I remember zoas is best to have it on a rock island.

My thing is that I don't want one zoa on the island, it would boring with just one colour type. So I was wondering if it alright to have 2 different single zoas on the island and hope it grow around the island and not one half is one type and the other half is the other zoa

Also how do I know which zoas can play friendly with each other? Lol

Mostly all zoas are compatible with eachother just keep in mind some grow faster and may smother the slow growers to death eventually.

Yes, but this is why I glue Zoas to the back wall, nothing but their own prime real estate to take over completely.

Basically find same growth zoas to pair up

Hopefully when it fills out, I can post some pics of my back wall in detail, not a very common placement.

I have 5 different ones/colors. Favorite being orange tangerine! AIO Zoas looks like they might be the most abundant on the back wall, they are multiplying quickly, though blue and yellow with a splash of orange sound pretty good to me as well.

Literally all common Zoanthids and Paly's can touch. Its the protopaly's that can make a tank upset because when you move them they slime up super bad and thay stuff is terrible.

I had the slime from a Purple Death frag touch a Acan frag,and that head was gone the next day.

I have had all sorts of different zoas growing together. They don't actively kill each other with stings so much as try to get the most territory and light. The larger faster growing polyps tend to shade out the smaller or slower growing ones. However you can get in and trim back the dominant strains to curate the garden however you want.

 

[Steven Garland]

To put it this way,the only polyps I woukdn't put with any other polyps would be: Captain America,Beauty and the Beast,Purple Death,Nuclear Green,Grandis all are Protopaly's I believe and their slime is nasty to other corals.

Literally all other zoa's and paly's I would feel comfortable letting touch eachother.

I will when they fill out, I just did it. only the AIO one is taking off so far so it looks like my plan should work.
