Most Sensative Zoa/Paly

[Stickyhops]

What are the hardest polyps to keep in 'home reefs'?

 

[FaviaFreak]

armageddons, most carribean species, PE variants, most micro zoas,

Whatever you spend the most money on.

The bright blue micro sized zoas. Haven't tried the other colors, and you rarely see them for sale anymore. Used to go by the names Blue Microdot and Bahama Blues. I never had trouble with Arms, PEs or caribbean ones when I ran really high flow and light, but nothing would make the Bahama Blues happy.

Daurth mauls

Utter chaos, darth maul, VDM.

People eater (any kind for me), Darth mauls, serene novas

I find the hardest ones to keep are the ones that die... they just don't last long after they're dead



I can't keep bam bams alive

I would have to say the hardest one for me would be my darth mauls. i can keep them but do not get good growth from them maybe 1 to two polyps every two months and the colors seem to fade as they get older and I have tried them under 15k 18k and numerous t5 combos.. but my harder ones utter chaos/ cherrie charms seem to do fine.

Interesting responses so far. I haven't had a Zoa so far that I could not grow out! Knock on wood! Dearth mauls included. Even under halides top shelf of tank. Interesting to hear from all. I credit my 'dirty, warm water'.

Made a poll for this a while back. I think the consensus was that darth maul were the worst offenders. Not necessarily the most prone to melt, but rather the greatest number of people had them melt. Probably because they are more abundantly available than say, soprano, for instance.

Blood shot I've had them 2 times they closed and never opened for me again !

0-3 on darth mauls. space monster = space melter.

Hands down Darth Mauls

 

[Akwarius]

For those who didnt already know, Spackled Red (originally from Paradise Corals) is a much hardier morph of darth maul.

 

[SeeingGreen]

I can't keep Nuke Greens. To make matters worse, the purple deaths grow like crazy. But to each their own.

I have a set of Darths and Space Monsters, and if I had a table to knock on I would tell you how they are growing

 

[HiImSean]

another darth maul here

 

[larryl]

Darth Mauls and Sopranos!

 

[wedrick]

Super Saiyans and Blue Agave seemed finicky for me. My Darth Mauls are colonizing great under the same conditions.

I've never had any problems with zoas dying on me other then these KH sunbursts! i can't seem to keep these **** things happy.
