Sorry about the small pics, but if you look you can see a strand thats connected to the top button. Dont know why it decided to move up the rock but found it interesting | |

Once they start to spread, you know tank conditions are right for them, and they will spread like crazy...
Take pics periodically so you can keep record of progress.

I think they just grow weird! We had two or three polyps come in on the Live Rock, just brown button polyps. They were on top of the highest rock in the tank. I found a colony about a month later, on the bottom rock and the two polyps up top are now 4 colonies, close together, but not touching. I'm going to get some neon green polyps soon to put inbetween the brown colonies to make it more interesting.
Do you feed yours some phyto occasionally? Do you have a ground probe When I started feeding DTs, and got a ground probe, all of the corals in my tanks, my zoas included, started doing WAY better!

Zoa Spread Example:
(Started out with about dozen polyps on main rock about 4 years ago) 
(July 2007) 
(July 2008 )
Took a long while to get started. (Sundial snails were keeping growth in check)  - but once they were out...Zoa's spreading like crazy...
Hope one day to have overflows completely covered...
At this rate, will not take long.
(Recommend to take periodic pics of colonies to keep track of growth progress)  | |

No ground probe but im getting one tonight. I feed a bit of coral food but not much at all, most of what they get comes from my sump. | |
