Where are all the zoa lovers at??

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

I used to thread upon thread about all the great zoa collections. People talking about specific pieces, etc... but now it's like zoas aren't that desired anymore? I'm kind of going back into a bit of a zoa stage myself (probably bc it's all I can keep alive atm with my schedule), and I miss seeing all the discussions about different cool zoas people were collecting.

So where are the zoa lovers?

I've been still grabbing pieces as I can. Easy and with my schedule, it's good color for minimal upkeep.

Right here. At this point your going to have to buy from hobbyists lol. The only “high end” my lfs sells is utter chaos. They’ve got two or three wild ones but nothing good. If I drive two hours I can get bam bams and pink zippers but that’s it. Planning on meeting with fellow reefer soon to get some more. I only have three zoas rn. The token eagle eyes, Green Bay packers? (I add a question mark cus one of them I put in higher light is way different) and and weird black one. Been interested in them since before starting the hobby just can’t find any.

Present!

I honestly lost interest with prices reaching $100s per polyp.

Love zoas but haven't collected any in a while. We will be collecting tridacna in future though

Everything cycles. It is about time that the OG Z&P start to get some run, so if you have OG PPEs, then watch out. Probably a acan lord resurgence coming soon too.

Dude....i brought $600 worth of zoas during WWC Cyber Monday 14hr Live Sale


Does that answer your question?

Zoas are no where near faded out... im a frag swap vendor on the east coast, zoas by far are the most common coral offered and sold.

 

[Not2bad]

Gotta love the zoas

Gotta give the rastas, hornets and utter chaos some love

Does anyone have experience with Vietnam Zoanthid rocks? I just purchased about $900 worth and covered most of my available sand bed with them. Any specific best practices on PAR / spectrum / schedule for Vietnam Zoa rocks?

Mine grew too fast and took up all my real estate. That was a pretty big turn off for me.

Its my understanding Professional growers like WWC uses almost exclusively actinic 420-460nm light in the blue spectrum with lots of actinic PAR, reg waterchanges and 2-5ppm nitrates

Zoas need hard hitting blue light, element nutrients from WCs snd a little bit of NO3 to grow the zooanthellae algae inside their tissues

Correct me if im wrong @WWC

Those are KO nightmare

LOVE ZOAS

 

[vetteguy53081]

Zoas are the colors of the reef aquaria as they populate into colorful masses , but as a couple have mentioned - what is with the high/outrageous prices on some of the zoas out there?
In addition to people paying these prices and therefore they will sell at crazy prices, they are or at least once were the bread and butter of frag and reef collections.

 

[arnallop3]

Here are some of mine. Most are frags or small colonies. Halle berrys, red metallic, green bay packers, magicians w goldies to the left of them. Have a few more but no pics more zoas/palys coming from @CherryCorals which I'm very excited about!

Gotta give the rastas...some love

LOL Dennis. This now colony is something my wife purchased a few years ago. Started out with 7 polyps. Thankfully I've been able to keep them alive...knock on wood. This is only a portion of them now.
