    LOL!! Pretty similar! Too funny :D

    I'm going to turn off the powerheads when I feed later. I'll try to get a top-down pic then :)

    So the zoas and the (insert SPS name here) won't get along? I wonder why they're on the same disk in the first place :(



    IS it that the zoas will damage the SPS or that the SPS will damage the zoas?

    My bet would be on the zoas winning.

    :lol: That would have been my reaction too. Now you know why I don't keep soft corals in my tank.

    I love soft corals. I didn't really plan on getting in to SPS at all. We'll see how it goes! I don't know how to get the SPS off of the frag disk either to transfer to another plug :(

    I love 'em too. I'll have a few SPS but am afraid of getting the fever! LOL

    I think it'd be easier to gently remove the zoo's and get them reattached somewhere else. Less chance of loss imo + if you mess up and cut or tear one in half..BAM insta frag and now you've grown your colony a little.;)

    Looks like it could be some type of encrusting montipora possibly

    I actually did split a zoa in half the other day, completely by accident. I was movng a frag plug with my last blue zoa on it and some other zoas were attached. i pulled the frag plug up and one of the zoas split right in half. I was just looking at the one that happened to. Its got another head on it already!
