I'll make a thread for it, so that I'm not clogging this thread up/

nvm they stay open now

 

[Oscaror]

Name: Hawaiian People Peater Paly
Hardiness: Very Hardy
Lighting: Adaptable
Flow: Medium
Growth Rate: 1 Polyp Per month
Resistance to Fragging: Will add when I frag it

C'mon let's keep this going!

I put my zoas together but give enough space for them to grow into tennis ball sized colonies. I give my favorite ones a bit more space.
I don't think the zoas really care. I guess the only danger in keeping zoas together is that some extend upwards while others stay flat on the rock, causing small zoas to die from light deprivation. This can be prevented simply by fragging. Otherwise the only reason you should choose between together or spread out is your personal preferences.

Thanks for the answer.

bump, there are thousands of varieties out there, anyone have mohicans, strats, whatever you have it helps!

;_; I see nobody want's to tell me how to care for JF Acid Reflux?

Mine melted on me in the middle of the tank. I would guess lower would be better?

Well to know that I'd need someone to post info on it

This is an awesome thread!

Anyone know why my sunny d's barely open? It's really annoying me.

Mine do that in too much flow

;_; I see nobody want's to tell me how to care for JF Acid Reflux?

I can do that. Love acid reflux...

I have a very hard time capturing blue. But the blue on these is very similar to tubbs blues. These however are about $0.25 sized polyps. One of my favorites.

Name: Jason Fox Steel Blues
Hardiness: Very Hardy
Lighting: Adaptable
Flow: Medium
Growth Rate: 1 Polyp Per month
Resistance to Fragging: frags very well. Only loss from these, is a small group that got nuked by pink and golds. Beware of pink and golds. Lost a lot of zoas to them.

 

[Triggreef]

Name: Jason Fox Acid Reflux
Hardiness: Fairly Hardy
Lighting: low to medium, doesn't seem to like higher lighting as much.
Flow: Low to Medium, doesn't seem as happy in high flow.
Growth Rate: 1 Polyp per polyp per month
Resistance to Fragging: frags very well. I've fragged it multiple times without loss.

 

[Peanut]

Name: Bam-Bams (Jason Fox Atomic Sunrise)
Hardiness: Fairly Hardy
Lighting: medium to high. I have this growing in many different places in my main tank.
Flow: any flow, they like flow but also do fine in areas with less flow
Growth Rate: Grows like a weed.
Resistance to Fragging: frags very well. I have 4 large colonies each 20-30 polyps

I actually have a tough time with these. My conditions I would say are the same as what your describing. We should have added nutrient levels to the list of care categories. I suspect some will do better in low nutrients and some better in higher nutrients. Where are yours at? Mine are high with nitrate generally under 10ppm and po4 sometimes up to 1.0 or even higher sometimes.

I hardly feed my tank, I only have a few fish, most of which can live off the tank. I also run an ethyl alcohol based denitrator, my nitrates are undetectable.
I dose 2 part, I used Natureef for years but am having trouble finding it recently and have switched to c-balance.

You know, I see a lot about lighting and flow, but what about parameters, specifically NO3, PO4 and tank feeding/habits.

In my display, I have gobstoppers, red hornet, rasta, the weeds (green weed and orange weed) pink zippers, red kedz, green machine palys, some other browning tan weed with pink actinic glow, and yellow face zoo. (Couple others I can't remember)

I feed them/tank everyday (3x) with frozen rotifers, baby brine and zooplankton. I skim heavy and my PO4 .02 and NO3 0-3.
This benefits my LPS, SPS and Ricordea and fish. (Fish get fed 3x a day as well). Lots of feeding!

What are others doing?

Is there an echo in here?? LOL

First image of 10 polyps was taken 12/2013
Second image taken 11/24/2015 ...about 100 polyps (sorry its blurry but the angle from above so you can see more than 10 makes taking the shot difficult)

Name: Candy Apple Reds
Hardiness: Fairly Hardy
Lighting: medium. I have this growing right in the middle of my main tank.
Flow: some flow, not too much
Growth Rate: 10 polyps are 100 polyps in 2 years
Resistance to Fragging: I like it too much to touch it but I do have 2 small frags of 4-5 polyps

 

[Triggreef]

Name: Mean Green Zoa
Hardiness: Hardy
Lighting: Adaptable
Flow: Moderate
Growth Speed: 3 Polyps per Month

I have these purchased as Vulcan's Blood I don't know if thats mentioned. On a quick google search looks like it's just an AKA.

Hahahaha. I must have just waltzed right over that. It would be interesting to see people's feeding habits. Thanks for showing my you exact sentiment. Sorry I missed it the first time.
