finding zoa's

p30sl · 11-01-2006, 07:48 PM

I have been looking for a show piece size zoa colony for a while now and OD has presented itself as one way to go around $50-75 for what I would consider a large colony ~100 polyps. Does anyone have something like this to trade or know of anywhere that specializes in these. I have some colonies but the seem to die off in spots just as fast as they grow in other places and my colonies really don't get any larger. Also any help from people that are having great growth would be helpful. I dose with iodine and all my other levels are good. Flow might be an issue as I have been gradually increasing flow all over my tank with the mj mod. I have one running in my tank, and thinking of adding another as one or two members have this set up with the same size tank.

They should adjust to the flow as long as it isn't too extreme. I would watch the iodine dosing being that it is difficult to test for. Water changes should keep that level up. Hopefully you don't have a predator of zoas if they are disappearing. Test your alk.
