Hello everybody, I recently bought some watermelon zoa corals and was just wondering if anyone who keeps them can share some information on how fast they grow. Do they grow rather fast or are they more of the slow variety?
Have a look through this thread on R2R. Different reefers with different tanks reports differing- and somewhat conflicting information as to the growth rate of different zoa's.
There's no definitive answer to this one; it very much comes down to your particular tank. Some types of zoas can grow one or two polyps in a month in one tank and spread slowly; where as in another tank they spread like wildfire. I am experiencing this in my tanks (my utter chaos grows really well in my big display - and very slow in my smaller nano setup).
