Name of Zoa

Hey, i recently purchased a zoa frag and i was wondering if anyone could help me with the name of it and its rough value per polyp.
Thanks,

It looks like you have a candy apple orange zoa or a bowser. If its the candy apple, they aren't the most pricey and are fairly inexpensive, could probably sell for $3-5 a polyp. However, still believe bowsers are fairly pricey. That would be a good find if you got it for cheap, decent amount of polyps there-like you could fund all your aquarium needs if you grew and sell them pricey.

Not a Bowser as I just bought 1 today. Bowsers have red in the lashes. I got a Bowser on the cheap at $20 for 1 head. This is still a really nice zoa colony.

Hey man, would you happen to know the price of Sunny Delights per polyp, also wondering what true bam bams are worth as i have a three polyp frag of those.
Thanks,
Luke

I know! When my guy posted it for sale I jumped on it. For $20 I couldn't pass it up. They are usually around $60 per head so it's a no brainer.

As for your Sunny D Zoas, I would say that is about a $40 frag or so depending on where you buy it.

$2-$4 per polyp.

Yeah alright sounds good what about a 3 polyp frag of true orange bam bams? I bought 7 drags of someone yesterday for 50 dollars because a nice guy wanted to get rid of them for $50 because he was worried about the poison aspect of them.

Also how many polyps should i let my zoas reach before i frag them?

This is going to vary on everyone you'd ask. I would honestly shoot for 15-20. This means if you are new to fragging and you cut 3-5 off each time, the majority of the colony is going to stay healthy and grow more polyps quicker, even if you damage some of the surrounding ones.

In terms of your orange bam bam, you could probably get $10-15 of store credit at a LFS or $20 if you sell locally as that seems like a fair price when you put in the hard manual labor of fragging zoas, risking your health and all.

Use proper PPE while handling Zoas and cut under water and you will be fine. I frag Zoas all the time as do the guys I get corals from and not issues. Just make sure you use caution and PPE.

Yeah, think of it as prepping for a college chem or bio lab!
