Now that I take a good look the larger polyp one does have a yellow skirt and the smaller polyp one is greener.

we are almost 2 months into the growout. hows everything looking? growth starting to take off?

Thanks

Yes, there is some growth. Not super fast it seems. Nothing like many other types like NG, PD, Armageddons, Nightmares, etc but def faster than PPEs. lol. I think they are tied with PH, maybe a little faster. I have yet to frag them still which will bring faster growth. Just delayed due to other projects in the workings and all the ones that pple have been complaining about dieing. Even some local have had problem with the Japanese zoas though I know many are having good success with them. Don't want to rush them and cause problems. I would not be expecting them in a few months time. I have yet to do or see a grow out for 10 pple that happened in less than 6 months. Look toward the end of summer, first of fall if all goes well.

Sorry to hear about your computer problems. Hopefully by the time the next grow out update rolls around (maybe the end of April?) you will have solved the issue.

Update pics. I had to use a clear container to get any pics where they are right now and looks like I missed a couple. Will get better pics after I frag them off the rock and onto plugs. Will be doing that this week or next. I have put it off till I know they are doing well since others have had some losses with these zoas I wanted to wait. I think they are doing fine though but they are not the fastest growing zoas. Maybe after I frag them down they will take off. I have to get this rock out too. I haven't figured out why yet but I have 3-4 rocks that grow turf even after I remove them and dry them out it regrows. Doesn't touch the coraline encrusted rock but rather than take any chances I think it will go into the trash or a bleach solution then dry for some time.
And no, the PH are not part of them before anyone asks. lol

Here are some pics from this evening. These are really looking sweet. Unfortunately I forgot what they are for so I guess I will just keep them for myself. kididng, but you couldn't blame me. Taken under 10K Hamilton. Bet they really 'POP' under 14Ks.
