    I have a question

    Is there a way to make zoas grow faster?
    Maybe a way of feeding them?
    Thanks

    keep them in the same spot and same light without moving or changing anything and they will adjust and grow under most conditions.if you change or move them or your lights they will slow down till they adjust again.

    I heard this once, if you want to risk it...

    Take exacto knife or other sharp implement and slice thru zoa colony couple of times...

    Supposed to stimulate more/faster growth...
