Purple Deaths

Where do you all place these and what grwoth rate do you all see from these guys?

Should I spot feed to increase the growth rate or will they do okay from general additions of rotifiers and oyster eggs?

They are awesome growers. like all zoas try to start them low then adjust as needed I kept mine in shaded area cause my light was to much and slowly moved them out of the shade. They are great eaters when it comes to spot feeding and grow really fast.

Mine do well just about anywhere. I seem to have best growth in mod light with spot feeding. Mine love the smaller Hikari Bio-Pure Mysis.

Thanks..I think I have some mini mysis I can spot feed them. Maybe I will throw them near the dendros so I can spot feed one area.

Did they look more purple in the shade or with more light?

High light. And spot feeding will keep them a nice deep purple

Will,
Lower light levels make them appear more brown/redish. High light for the Barney purple. GREAT grower

I have mine about 5 inches from the surface under (2) 250w MH lights and they are purple. My MH lights are about 8 inches off of the surface.

Thanks all, will adjust them over the next few days.
