    I just found/rescued/fragged a large colony. These guys have been shaded. Curious to see how the color does under lighting.

    I'll get some better pics when they open more.

    If I had it to do all over again I think I would do all ZOA's except for a couple sps's..... Been pondering over it for a while now... Might do a tank revamp...

    I've got a colony of about 10 heads or so that we got fo free. They're all sleepin' right now, so I'll get a good pic of them tomorrow.

    They'll multiply quickly. Glue the frag to an existing piece of LR and they'll spread before you know it to cover the rock.

    Here's one question that seems appropriate for this thread. How do you frag zoas? Cut and gel glue them? We bought the zoa as a frag. We put the rock that the frag was on in a crevice on a piece of live rock. Is that good enough, instead of just putting it on the LR?

    Leave them on their rock - get some super glue gel, or epoxy, and glue the rock they're attached to onto the LR. Eventually a snail or other critter will knock it loose otherwise. My turbos are like a bulldozers, they've moved decent sized rocks before - and you don't want the rock to fall and land with the zoas down.
