How to make zoas grow more polyps

How do you make zoas grow more polyps?

 

[twilliard]

A happy perfect stable condition. Well and feed the fish well
they will grow like weeds once this is met

 

[Mike628]

Alrighty. I have two frags I have fire and ice and radioactive dragon eyes

Also, Zoas like some flow across them.

I'm having great results with Reef Roids

 

[twilliard]

Just remember when they get going they don't stop!
Want any eagle eyes lol I have hundreds of these things!

Acropower has really helped my zoas take off. The amino acids help. Obvously ReefRoids as well.

Stability. Gradually increase lighting especially if they are reaching. If they don't lay flat then you can probably give them a little more light.

Feed and they seem to like semi dirty water... like over 20ppm nitrates. I am not telling you to raise your nitrates, but just my experience!

Also understand that a few years down, they will take over almost any other coral. That is why you see everyone set up zoa island's/gardens

Acropower made my zoas explode

What does a zoa island/garden look like?

 

[twilliard]

All I do is feed my fish. This is just a small part of them.

Just a separate set of rocks for only zoas where you don't have to worry about them taking over your other corals.

Search the term here, you'll find some impressive pics!

Single polyps grow faster than colonies but after that steady parameters do the trick

Fish poops..I do use reef Roids but never seems to be a stable nutrient control in tank as my feeding of Roids varied from once a week to 2-3 pinch a day sometime..but I do feed them everyday ...lol.. Little but many..
Sakura at the background 100 from 2p in 3month..

Hey if zoas are laying flat is that typically mean too much light??

No.. when they hump up from what I see from the past is too much light.
Worst case of too much light is the expulsion of zooxanthellae algae

Right.

I would add though that if they are laying flat, thats probably as much light as I would give them. But thats just me.
