What to get?

Xanthurum · Feb 9, 2020

Looking for advice on which Zoas and Palys I should get. Long story short I have discovered that my tank can grow them at an alarming rate so I have decided to go all in. I’m an SPS guy at heart so I’m not very knowledgeable on all the varieties or what the must haves are. I’m looking to get into some high end stock so that I can capitalize on my tank being zoa miracle grow. Fire away with your suggestions of what would be your top 5 gotta haves, not saying that money is no object but let’s pretend it isnt.

GMKs are weeds and the market is falling on them quickly.

If you want to grow something that holds its value try:

Flaming Mohicans
Wolverine Palys
Bozo Birthdays
Emperor v2's
Adonis
Poinsettias

None of these are the 'hot new zoa,' they're mostly strains that have been around awhile but hold their value because 1) they ship poorly, 2) they don't frag well and 3) they're prone to melting 4) they legitimately grow slow. Most new zoa strains lose their value very quickly these days because there's so many people trying to flip them and anyone with a frag rack can do it with sturdier strains. Since you're an sps guy at heart I'd suggest brushing up on Furan-2 dipping, lugol's dips, etc.

That's my 2 cents.
