How fast do your zoas grow?

[hllb]

Noticed a new baby polyp on my rastas last night so it got me thinking about this. Despite my GHA issues, my zoas have all grown since I've had them. Maybe we can share growth rates (# of polyps) and type of zoa.

Rastas: 3 new polyps over four months; average growth .75 polyps per month
Radioactive Dragon Eyes: hard to tell here, but I'd say probably 2 new polyps over 2 months; average growth 1 polyp per month
Sapphire Blue: 1 new polyp over 5.5 months; average growth .2 polyps per month (this one is my least favorite and not happy where I put it. I'll have to move it)

I just bought a nice colony of bam bam zoas, but only had it since last weekend.

Mine grow a lot faster, pretty much a new polyps every week on my Sunny D, Rasta and Utter Chaos.

what are your parameters? And what do you think is contributing to the growth?

My larger polyps/palies seem to grow significantly faster than my smaller zoas. My captain America and utters grow new polyps every couple days where my other zoas grow about 1 or 2 every week

I do think my GHA has been choking them out a bit and shading them. It's finally starting to go away, and boom, last night saw a new rasta polyp.

Now you've got me wondering... I might start tracking some of my newer&smaller colonies to see their pace...

Some of my zoas would grow fast than slow down. Right now the only zoas that seem to just keep growing is my Orange Oxides
