Zoa placement for growth

[hllb]

I have 2 types of zoas currently, both on small rock on frag plugs. One is having algae issues so not opening much but I’ll figure that out.

my question is, do I need to move these off the sandbed to where they can grow on a rock?

If they aren't growing on the sandbed and seems a bit stretched out as if it was trying to receive more light then i would move them up. otherwise they should do fine on the sandbed. If they overgrow the plug I would move them to the rocks

In some cases depending on the variety I will move zoas up and down on various frag racks until I find the sweet spot for the particular zoa. I agree with shimppsacc on moving to rocks once the plug is covered. You may also just cut off frag stem and add to larger frag disc which will give a raised look and make for easy fragging later.

I have a group of zoas that came on what looks like a bone. Should I place them on a rock or just on the sand. I’ll try to show a pic

If you don’t want them to cover that rock, put them on the sand bed.

Thanks. Put them in the sand and they are doing fine.leaves me more room on that rock for others.
