How big does a zoa have to be to frag?

[SombreroBen]

I bought this giant Zoa for $30 a few days ago. How many polyps does a zoa need to have to frag it?

Zoas are extremely hardy in my experience. You could make a frag out of every head from that if you wanted to. I usually try to get 3 to 4 heads a frag just to speed up growth for each frag.

Make sure you do some looking into fragging Zoas. But you can frag each polyp as stated. Getting rid of Zoa's is a challenge though so may not be required because before you know it you will have 100's

Take care here with fraging these. Protect yourself with gloves and eyewear. Palythoa toxin is nothing to take lightly.
